Ingredients

For the stock

  • 4 cups water
  • Shells of shellfish

  • Celery a couple of decent sized stalks
  • Carrots a couple chopped roughly

For the bisque

  • 3 stock cubes
  • 1 ½ cup diced celery

  • 1 pound chopped lobster
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons Better Than Bullion Lobster Base
  • 4 tablespoons tomato paste
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup dry Sherry or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste

Instructions

For the stock:

  • Pressure cook ingredients on high for 45 minutes. Strain stock.

For the bisque:

  • Sauté onions, celery, and carrots in 2 tablespoons butter until softened. Add back the stock that you made, the stock cubes, and the sherry to the sautéed vegetables. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes. Puree until smooth. Add tomato paste, Better Than Bullion (to taste) and heavy cream, and warm through. Add lobster and heat until warmed through (I used the Instant Pot set to high slow cook for about 20 minutes).
