Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add shrimp, crab, and lobster, cooking until the shrimp turns pink, about 3-5 minutes. Remove seafood and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until golden and bubbly to create a roux.
  4. Slowly pour in the seafood stock, whisking to combine. Stir in heavy cream and white wine (or substitute) and bring to a simmer.
  5. Add smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Puree the bisque until smooth using an immersion blender (or regular blender).

  7. Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

Always use fresh, high-quality seafood for the best flavor. To make a dairy-free version, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream. If you prefer a spicier bisque, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months. When reheating, add a bit of stock or cream to adjust consistency if needed.
