Gambas Bisque

Heat a cast-iron pot and add the olive oil.

Peel the onions, cut them in half, and place them cut-side down in the pot to brown nicely.

Add the garlic, chili pepper, and chopped carrots, and let them brown well too.

Add the shells, thyme, bay leaves, tomatoes, wine, and fish stock. Season with pepper and salt. Mix everything well and let it simmer for 25 minutes.

Strain the soup and press well through the sieve to extract every drop of juice.

Let the butter foam in a stew pot and stir in the flour all at once. Let it cook for a few minutes to avoid the flour taste.

Add half of the strained broth and whisk everything together until there are no lumps left. Then add the rest of the broth. If you still have lumps, use an immersion blender.

Remove the intestinal tract from the raw gambas and chop them finely.

Lightly whip the sour cream with a mixer and mix in the finely chopped gambas and spring onions.

Divide the bisque into deep plates and finish with quenelles of gambas tartare, some crayfish, and finely chopped spring onions. Drizzle some oil on top as a final touch.
