Share
Ingredients:
- 2 lobster tails, shells removed and meat chopped
- 2 tablespoons Butter Premium Olive Oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups seafood or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the butter-infused extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and translucent.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes to create a roux.
- Slowly pour in the dry white wine, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Add the chopped lobster meat to the pot and cook for a few minutes until it starts to turn opaque.
- Pour in the seafood or vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, carefully blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Return the blended mixture to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Season the bisque with paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasonings to your taste preferences.
- Once the bisque is heated through and well-seasoned, ladle it into serving bowls.
- Garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley.
- Serve the lobster bisque with a drizzle of butter olive oil alongside some crusty bread for a complete and delicious meal.
