This Lobster Bisque was made for loving you. It already dropped the kids off with their grandparents. It left you a box on the bed and we’re not gonna say what’s in the box but now you’re biting your lip just a little. Go ahead and put on that goofy Betty Boop getup that’s all dusty in the back of your closet. Pour the vino. Put on the slow jams and a big ole adult bib. This Lobster Bisque was made for loving you.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Lobster Bisque

  1. In a large pot, fill with 5 cups water and salt it. Bring to boil, then add lobster tails, cover, and boil for 3-5 minutes, or until lobster tails are bright red. Remove pot from heat temporarily.
  2. Remove lobster tails and let cool. Remove meat from shells and set aside. Return shells to pot and bring back to boil. Reduce to simmer and continue simmering for 25-30 minutes. Chop lobster meat into bite-sized chunks, then chill until ready for use.
  3. When stock is almost finished simmering, heat butter in another large pot. Sauté onion, carrot, and celery until tender. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Stir in tomato paste, bouillon base, paprika, tarragon, thyme, cayenne, bay leaf, then salt and pepper to taste (if necessary). Sprinkle in flour and stir until vegetables are well-coated.
  5. Pour in wine and sherry, bring to boil, then simmer until reduced by half.
  6. Stir in lobster stock and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until flavors are blended.
  7. Using an immersion blender, blend mixture until smooth. Stir in heavy cream.
  8. To serve, add most of the lobster meat into the bisque, while retaining some to garnish each bowl. Enjoy!
