Lobster Bisque
I made this dish on Valentine’s Day because all the restaurants here were booked up and I failed to plan early enough.
Let me tell folks, this is some Good Shit. I prepared Lobster as well but the soup was the star of this show. Give it a try, it’s pretty easy to make. You can easily substitute shrimp for lobster if you can’t find Lobster at a reasonable price.
Ingredients :
- 1/2 lb lobster meat, cut into small chunks
- 2 tablespoons minced shallots
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
- 2 Teaspoons Aw Shit
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 6 tablespoons dry sherry
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 teaspoon lobster base (better than bouillon)
- 4 ounces tomato paste
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
Preparation:
- In a sauté pan heat a little oil over med-high heat and sauté shallots, onions, and garlic for one minute.
- Deglaze the pan with the white wine.
- Add the Aw Shit, Worcestershire, Tabasco, and thyme and sauté for another minute.
- Deglaze the pan with the sherry.
- Add the paprika, hot water and lobster base and combine well.
- Stir in tomato paste and add the bay leaves.
- Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Whisk in heavy cream and the butter and bring to a boil.
- Add the lobster and simmer until cooked through.
- Serve with crusty garlic bread.
