Langostino Stew

Recipe by: Cynthia C. from Milton

I made this up after failing to find a suitable heart healthy recipe for a stew or bisque base to make with langostinos or lobster meat. It took a few tries to get it right. Prepared this way, my husband loves it. It have made it with shrimp too.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
• 1 medium red potato diced into1/2 inch cubes
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 stalk celery, sliced
• 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons spicy cocktail sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4-5 dashes hot-shot (red and black pepper blend)
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons cognac
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 8 ounces langostinos (pre-cooked) (may also use lobster or shrimp)
• 1 1/2 cups skim milk
• 1 tablespoon parsley

Directions

• In a sauce pan, sauté the onions, potatoes, celery, and garlic in the butter until onions are clear.
• Add the chicken broth, cocktail sauce, Worcestershire sauce and spices, and bring to a boil.
• Simmer until the potatoes are soft .
• In a small bowl, whisk the flour in the cognac.
• Add it to the simmering mixture, along with the langostinos.
• Add the milk and the parsley, and continue slightly simmering on low heat, until all is heated through.
• Add more black pepper to taste if desired.
