Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh lobster
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup celery stalks, diced
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups fish stock
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the lobsters, cover, and cook for about 8-10 minutes until shells are bright red. Remove lobsters and allow them to cool.
Once cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the shells and set it aside. Reserve the shells for further use.
In a large soup pot over medium heat, melt the ghee and add the olive oil.
Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the reserved lobster shells to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the coconut milk, tomato paste, fish stock, bay leaf, and sprigs of thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes to allow flavors to combine.
Remove from heat and discard the lobster shells, bay leaf, and thyme sprigs.
Using an immersion blender or transferring the bisque to a standard blender in batches, puree the mixture until smooth.
Return the bisque to the pot over low heat. Chop the reserved lobster meat and add it to the bisque.
Stir in the lemon juice and heat through for another 5 minutes.
Serve the bisque hot, garnished with fresh parsley for an added touch of flavor.
