For an extra depth of flavor, consider roasting the lobster shells and simmering them in the seafood stock before using.
If you prefer a thicker bisque, add an extra tablespoon of flour during the roux-making step.
Want a touch of spice? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a splash of hot sauce for a little kick.
For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with milk or a dairy-free alternative.
Serve the bisque in bread bowls for a fun and hearty presentation.
Leftover bisque can be used as a sauce for pasta or risotto for a second delicious meal.
