Ingredients
  

For the Bisque
  • 2 tails Lobster The star of this dish; for a different seafood experience, try substituting with shrimp.
  • 2 tbsp Butter Adds a rich flavor base, essential for a creamy texture.
  • 1 small Onion Chopped; essential for flavor.
  • 1 piece Carrot Chopped; adds subtle sweetness; can use parsnip.
  • 1 stalk Celery Chopped; can be omitted if not available.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Boosts overall depth of flavor; can swap for garlic powder.
  • 2 tbsp Flour Thickens the bisque; consider cornstarch for gluten-free.
  • 1 tbsp Tomato Paste Adds depth and a hint of acidity; optional for lighter bisque.
  • 1/2 cup Cream Ensures the bisque is silky and rich; coconut cream as a non-dairy alternative.
