    Lobster Bisque Recipe

    MarkD INGREDIENTS
      • Ingredients:
      • 4 lobster carcasses
      • 2 onions rough chopped
      • 4 pcs celery rough chopped
      • 4 carrots chopped
      • 4 cloves garlic rough minced
      • 1/4 cup olive oil
      • 1 small can of tomato paste
      • 1 cup white wine
      • 2 cups duck stock (or chicken stock)
      • 1 1/2 quarts of water
      • 1/2 cup half and half
      • 2 tsp thyme
      • 2 tbsp oregano
      • 2 tbsp seafood seasoning (Montreal, Old Bay, Weber, etc...)
      • 2 tbsps hot pepper flakes
      • kosher salt
      • pepper
      • lobster meat (1 pkg of mini frozen shrimp is what I had on hand)
      • 1 stick butter
      • 8 tbsps flour
    INSTRUCTIONS
    • Instructions for the lobster stock:
      • In a large pot:
      • Sweat onions, carrots, celery and garlic until almost soft. (about 10 minutes) While sweating, add thyme, oregano, seafood seasoning, 2 tbsps of kosher salt and pepper to taste.
      • After veggies are almost soft, add white wine and reduce by half.
      • Add lobster shells and tomato paste and heat with high heat being careful not to burn the tomato paste. Add 1 1/2 quarts of water, duck stock, more salt, pepper to taste and 1/2 of pepper flakes. Simmer for 2 to 3 hours.
    • For the bisque:
      • Let the lobster stock cool. Then strain in a fine sieve. Reserve the strained liquid in a separate container. Discard all of the shells and remaining solids.
      • In the same pot used to sweat the vegetables, melt the 1 stick of butter and whisk in the flour to make a roux. Keep whisking the roux until it is a peanut butter color and consistency.
      • Whisk in about 2 cups of lobster stock so there are no lumps and forms a paste-like consistency. Slowly whisk in the rest of the stock. Bring to a simmer. In a separate saucepan, heat the half and half to almost a boil and slowly whisk that into the simmering bisque. Add the rest of the pepper flakes. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
      • Taste to add final seasoning. (Salt, pepper, more pepper flakes,seafood seasoning)
      • Simmer for 20 minutes more.
      • Remove from heat and add the lobster meat or whatever seafood meat you have on hand. Let rest for 15 minutes and serve.

    I remember my parents making Crawfish bisque for Easter. They started weeks ahead of time.

          troymeister, Thanks a Million for the Bisque Recipe! For years generally on Christmas Eve I boil up what I call a Seafood Gumbo? 1500 Miles to the closest Salt Water in Any Direction! So my Victums aren't too critical! It will be good to have a tried and true recipe!

            Has anyone substituted Lobster Paste if you want to make a quicker version?
