Ingredients

• 2 large lobster tails
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 celery stalks, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 4 cups lobster or seafood stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the lobster tails: using kitchen shears, cut down the center of each shell lengthwise. Remove the meat and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Keep the shells for a more flavorful broth.

Step 2

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter with olive oil. Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced celery. Cook until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes to enhance its flavor.

Step 4

Add the lobster shells to the pot and pour in the dry white wine, allowing it to simmer for 3-4 minutes until reduced by half.

Step 5

Pour in the lobster or seafood stock. Add the bay leaf, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the bay leaf and the lobster shells from the pot. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or blend in batches in a countertop blender, being cautious of the hot liquid.

Step 7

Return the pureed soup to the pot over low heat and stir in the heavy cream and the chopped lobster meat.

Step 8

Allow the bisque to heat through gently for about 10 minutes, being careful not to let it boil, which could cause the cream to curdle.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.

Step 10

Serve the lobster bisque hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.
