Seafood Bisque

Ride the wave of the ocean while we go on a seafood excursion. This is not your ordinary soup. This right here is some GANGSTA seafood bisque.

INGREDIENTS

4 cups seafood stock
2-3 lobster tails
½ pound crawfish tails
½ pound shrimp
½ cup butter
½ cup shallots, chopped
2 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped
½ cup flour
¼ cup roasted tomatoes (can use canned)
½ cup sherry
4 cups seafood broth
2 cups half and half
Cajun seasoning to taste
handful fresh chives, chopped

PREPARATION

  1. Steam lobster. Allow to cool, crack & remove meat from shell. Cut into chunks and set aside.
  2. Sauté shrimp. Allow to cool, peel.
  3. Mince ½ of lobster, shrimp and crawfish tails in a food processor.
  4. Melt butter in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Stir in shallots cook until translucent about 3-4 minutes Add garlic. Cook 1 minute.
  5. Add flour and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in roasted tomatoes and cook until bottom begins to brown about 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly.
  6. Whisk in sherry until smooth, scraping brown bits from the bottom of pot. Stir in broth and half and half. Bring to a mild boil until thickened about 5 minutes.
  7. Add minced lobster, shrimp, crawfish and cook about 3 minutes. Season with Cajun seasoning to taste.
  8. If you like a thinner soup add a little seafood broth at a time until you get the consistency the way you like it. Garnish with remaining lobster and fresh chives.
