How to Make It

- While the lobster tails chill, add the ghee to the pot with the diced red onion, minced garlic, bay leaf and tomato paste. Stir together then bring the pot to a medium heat.
- Cook 5 minutes until the onion is tender then add the canned tomatoes with juices, paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme and chicken broth.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 10 minutes.

- Stir the coconut cream into the pot with the chopped lobster. Cook another 5 minutes then serve!
