Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Lobster tails
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 large piece, diced Celery stalk
- 1 small, diced Carrot
- 1 small, diced Shallot
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 3 cups Seafood or chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Instructions
Start by steaming the lobster tails until they turn bright red and are fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Once cooled, remove the meat from the shells, dice it, and set aside. Keep the lobster shells.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the celery, carrot, shallot, and garlic for about 5 minutes, until softened.
Add the lobster shells to the pot. Stir in the tomato paste and cayenne pepper, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to toast the tomato paste.
Pour in the white wine, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pot. Allow the liquid to reduce by half.
Add the seafood or chicken broth, bring to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Strain the broth through a fine sieve into another pot, discarding the solids.
Return the strained broth to low heat. Whisk in the xanthan gum to thicken the broth slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and diced lobster meat, allowing the bisque to heat through gently without boiling.
Season the bisque with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
