Raid the Lobster Treasure Chest

Begin your elegant journey by gathering the following items: 2 lobsters, 3 tablespoons of butter, 1 onion (finely chopped), 2 carrots (peeled and sliced), 2 celery stalks (sliced), 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 1/4 cup of brandy, 4 cups of seafood or vegetable stock, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of paprika, salt and pepper to taste. Also, you'll need a large pot, a blender or immersion blender, and a strainer.

The Lobster Discovery

Melt your butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add your chopped onion, sliced carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté them until they become soft and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes. Now it's time to meet the stars of the show! Add your lobster to the pot and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until they turn a beautiful shade of red!

The Bisque Alchemy

Remove the lobsters from the pot and set them aside to cool slightly. Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and cook for another minute. Raise the elegance level by adding 1/4 cup of brandy and carefully ignite it (if you're feeling daring)! Once the flames disappear, add your seafood or vegetable stock to the pot and bring it to a simmer. Let it all simmer together for about 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

The Regal Transformation

While your bisque is simmering, it's time to transform your lobsters from crustaceans to culinary royalty. Remove the lobster meat from the shells and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside some of the prettiest lobster claws for garnish later.

The Creamy Crown

Blend your bisque until smooth either using a blender or an immersion blender. Be careful not to send it flying across the kitchen! Once smooth, return the bisque to the heat and stir in the heavy cream to give it that velvety texture. Sprinkle in the paprika and season it with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
