Silky and Rich Gluten-Free Lobster Bisque Recipe (2024)

• 4 tablespoons butter

• 2 tablespoons finely diced scallions

• 1 stalk celery finely diced, with leaves

• 4 tablespoons rice flour

• 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons half-and-half, plus more or less if needed

• 1 tablespoon tomato paste

• 2 teaspoons paprika

• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

• 1/2 teaspoon cane sugar

• 2 to 3 tablespoons sherry, to taste

• 10 ounces cooked lobster meat, coarsely chopped

• Salt, to taste

• Ground pepper, to taste

1. Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Add diced scallions and celery and cook for about 3 minutes until vegetables begin to soften. Add sweet rice flour and whisk to blend into vegetables. Cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

2. Slowly pour half-and-half into vegetable mixture and stir until blended. Stir in tomato paste. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes or until bisque begins to thicken. Add paprika, Old Bay seasoning, cayenne, sugar, and sherry. Stir to blend. Add cooked lobster meat, then salt and pepper to taste. Simmer bisque over low heat for about 5 minutes, until heated through. Don't boil.

3. Serve hot.
