Ingredients
- 2 pounds of fresh lobster tails
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of dry sherry
- 4 cups of seafood broth
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by boiling the lobster tails in a large pot of salted water until they turn red, about 8-10 minutes. Remove them from the pot and let them cool.
- Once cooled, remove the lobster meat from the shells and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent.
- Pour in the dry sherry and let it simmer for a few minutes to cook off the alcohol.
- Add the lobster meat, seafood broth, heavy cream, bay leaf, and paprika to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to puree the bisque until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for an extra touch of elegance.
