BC Spot Prawn Bisque
Also known as: British Columbia Spot Prawn Bisque
Creamy BC spot prawn bisque finished with lobster oil and Dungeness crab.
About BC Spot Prawn Bisque
Eric Pateman’s Granville Island recipe represents BC spot prawn bisque with a Dungeness crab garnish. Prawn heads and bodies provide the shellfish base, with onion, carrot, tomato, brandy and whipping cream.
Tomato and carrot add sweetness against the prawns’ savoury marine flavour. Brandy contributes an aromatic note, while cream softens the concentrated stock and lobster oil enriches the finish.
The bisque has a smooth, strained texture with crab meat arranged as a garnish. Its rich creamy liquid contrasts with the distinct pieces of Dungeness crab at the surface.
