So there is this restaurant in Pensacola which is a town about 45 minutes to an hour away from where I live and it has the best Corn and Lobster Bisque I have ever eaten in my life, and I have decided to try and recreate dishes that I love and want more of so I can eat them whenever I want instead of having to always go to the restaurants....So with that said I decided to make my own Lobster and Corn Bisque with the help of Matthew. It was homemade and I am super proud to say that it is the B-O-M-B!!! I only had a little taste test but man may I say so myself I am becoming quite the little "chef-et!" I would seriously love to explore my culinary talents more but I have other tasks to take care of before that can be accomplished. Anyways...I have included the recipe for such Bisque below if anyone else would like to take a stab at it. (It was not that hard!!!) Well I took a picture of this wonderful creation but can't manage to get it on here because I have lost the piece I need to use to insert the itty bitty memory card into my computer. Sorry. I will try and take a picture with my camera soon! Enjoy this dish and if you don't want to make it you can wait because in a little over 3 months Matthew and I will be moving up there and would be more than happy to make this for you!
Ingredients
-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
-3 tablespoons bleached all-purpose flour
-1/2 minced yellow onions
-1 cup corn kernels (2 ears corn)
-2 tablespoons minced shallots
-2 tablespoons minced celery
-1 tablespoon minced garlic
-1 teaspoon salt
-1/2 teaspoon cayenne
-1 cup fish stock or water
-2 bay leaves
-2 cups milk
-2 cups heavy cream
-1 teaspoon crab boil (OPTIONAL)
-1/2 lb. cooked lobster meat, diced
-1/4 cup minced green onions
Directions
Heat the oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the flour a tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until blended. Continue stirring to make a light brown roux, 5 to 10 minutes.
Add the onions, shallots, corn, celery, garlic, salt and cayenne and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften, about 4 minutes. Slowly stir in stock. Add the bay leaves and bring to a boil. Add the milk, cream, and the crab boil, if using. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
Stir in the lobster meat and green onions and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaves. THEN ENJOY!!!!
