Red Lobster Lobster Bisque Recipe

Recreating the taste of Red Lobster's famous lobster bisque at home lets you enjoy a restaurant-quality meal without leaving your kitchen. You only need a few key ingredients like fresh lobsters, fish stock, cream, and a splash of cognac to achieve those rich and comforting flavors. One secret I've found is to let the lobster shells simmer in the broth for a bit longer to enhance the depth of flavor. Don't rush the process—the simmering and careful seasoning bring out the best in the recipe.
