This recipe will help you get as much as you can out of your lobsters. They're expensive, after all. Luckily, the shells come in handy and allow for at least one more delicious meal. Take this stock and use it as you wish. An excellent idea would be to infuse a risotto of uncommon flavor that would only benefit from the addition of chopped leftover lobster meat.

Time 5m

Yield Makes 6 or more cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup olive oil
Shells from 5 cooked lobsters, rinsed
1 onion, roughly chopped
2 bay leaves
10 peppercorns

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the lobster shells and sauté for 1 minute. Add enough water so that the pot is 2/3 full, then add the onion, bay leaves and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for several hours or overnight. (The longer it simmers, the better.) Using tongs, remove and discard the large shells, then strain the stock through a fine sieve twice.

This lobster stock was amazing! I used it to make a lobster bisque and it was the best I've ever had. The stock was so flavorful and rich, and it really made the bisque stand out.

I wasn't impressed with this lobster stock. It was bland and didn't have much flavor.

This lobster stock was a bit too salty for my taste. I had to add some water to it before using it.
