I recently had a hankering for Lobster Rolls, and Costco was out of frozen lobster meat, so I bought lobster tails instead. I was left with quite a few lobster shells, so I decided it was about time I made Homemade Lobster Stock!
This Homemade Lobster Stock is pretty straightforward. Sauté your shells and veggies, add in the liquids and aromatics, and simmer.
The result is a beautiful base for all your favorite seafood dishes: lobster bisque, seafood risotto, paella, or a creamy pasta sauce!
Ingredients:
- 6 lobster tail shells
