Maine Lobster Tail Bisque (French Style)

Maine Lobster Tail Bisque (French Style)

This French style lobster bisque is a luxurious and flavorful dish, perfect for a special occasion or when you want to treat yourself to something truly special. The tender lobster meat and creamy bisque come together to create an unforgettable flavor experience. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 2 Maine lobster tails, 5-6oz each
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 4 cups fish stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Heavy cream, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Begin by removing the lobster meat from the tails, making sure to reserve the shells. Cut the lobster meat into small pieces and set it aside.

  2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, and garlic, cooking until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Stir in the dried thyme, paprika, and tomato paste, cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Add the white wine, allowing it to simmer until it has reduced by half.

  4. Add the fish stock and lobster shells, bring to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, discarding the solids and reserving the liquid.

  5. Place the strained liquid back in the saucepan and stir in the heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

  6. Stir in the reserved lobster meat and cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

  7. Serve the bisque in bowls, garnishing each with a drizzle of heavy cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
