Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until foamy. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, then sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  2. Stir in the tomato paste, ensuring it's fully combined. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to deepen the flavor.
  3. Gradually pour in the seafood stock while stirring. Increase heat and bring to a gentle simmer for about 10 minutes.
  4. Fold in the lump crab meat, large shrimp, and lobster tail. Simmer for 5 minutes until the shrimp is pink and the lobster is cooked through.
  5. Using an immersion blender, purée half of the bisque until smooth while keeping some chunks intact for texture.
  6. Taste the bisque and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
