Preparation

Step 1

Broth:.....


Melt butter in a large pot; add shells and fry until sizzling, turning them often. When shells are hot, pour in brandy/cognac and ignite. Remove from heat - toss and turn the shells until the flames die down.
Add wine and water to cover shells. Add onion, celery, onion, green onions, parsley, garlic , bay leaf and thyme . Simmer for 30 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve or cheesecloth. Reserve broth.


Bisque.....

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt butter, add flour and let cook on low heat until medium brown. Add chopped vegetables and let cook on low heat until wilted, stirring often. Add tomatoes to pot and cook for a few minutes.
Add stock to pot; add remaining ingredients (except parsley and tarragon) and stir well. Heat gently and simmer for one hour, stirring often. Remove corn cobs. Purée half of bisque in a blender and add to bisque in the pot. Stir in chopped parsley and tarragon and serve. You may wish to add 1/4 cup of sherry or cognac (optional).

NOTE: you can prepare the bisque and for serving, place seafood in individual bowls and pour the bisque over - let sit for a few minutes and serve.
