Add lobster & wine. Quickly remove the tail when it?s half-cooked.

Using a sharp scissors, cut under shell of the tail section & pull out the flesh carefully. Put the meat aside & throw the shells back into the stock & simmer until liquid reduced by half.

Return liquid to pot. Add paste, parsley & simmer for another 15mins.

When bisque is ready, stir in starch with cream. Stir over medium fire till thickened.

Add the half-cooked lobster meat just before serving. Do not overcook.

Add wine & season to taste. Serve piping hot & garnish with parsley.
