LANGOSTINO BISQUE

Steps:

• Begin by defrosting your langostino tails (if frozen) in a bowl of cold water. Replaces 1-2 times until they are fully defrosted and then pat them dry fully with paper towels. If using raw tails, also pat them dry.
• In a pan, add 2 tbsp. of butter to medium heat and add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the pan. Toss in the raw or cooked langostino tails. If cooked, only coat and season in the butter mixture for about 1-2 minutes max. If raw, cook until opaque (about 4-5 minutes).
• Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl and set it aside.
• In a large pot, add your olive oil and heat it to medium high heat.
• Add in your mirepoix (carrots, celery, and onion). Cook about 4-5 minutes then add your remaining minced garlic and sauté another 30-60 sec.
• Season with the salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, tarragon, and chives. Cook 30 sec.
• Mix in your tomato paste and then add in the flour so everything is fully coated. The mixture will be pretty thick.
• Pour in the white wine and stir the veggies into the liquid. Allow the wine to come to a simmer. Then add your stock.
• Bring the mixture back to a simmer and let it reduce down for about 10 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and using an immersion blend, fully blend the veggies into the stock. You can use a standard blender but you have to cautious when blending hot liquids so they do not pressurize and burn you.
• Once the stock is fully pureed, test taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Then add in your heavy cream and taste test again.
• You can leave the bisque off the heat and add the langostinos into the pot and stir until it's fully combined.
• Serve with crusty bread and top with fresh chives if desired.

LANGOUSTINE BISQUE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6.
• Very lightly roast the langoustine shells in the oven for 5-10 minutes - you just want the shells to start to become fragrant and get a very light golden hue.
• Meanwhile, put a large pot over a medium heat and add the butter. When warm, add the garlic, shallots, herbs and spices and sweat until the shallot is soft.
• Add the lightly roasted shells to the pan and crush with the back of a wooden spoon to extract as much flavour as possible.
• Add the vermouth and brandy to deglaze the pan. Turn up the heat and reduce by ½.
• Stir in the tomato purée. Then add the stock and simmer for about an hour. (You want to be left with just under 1ltr of stock.)
• When it's done, strain the liquid - I use a mouli grater and crush the shells as I pass it, but you can also pass the mix through a colander, using a rolling pin to smash all the juice and other tasty morsels through the holes. After that, pass through a chinois or fine sieve.
• Return the liquid to the heat in a small pan and add the cream. Bring up to a gentle simmer. Check the seasoning and add a squeeze of lemon, if you like.
• Pour into bowls and serve immediately.
