How to Make It

  1. Steam the lobster tails by bringing a large pot to medium heat, add a ¼ cup of water, place the lobster tails in the pot and cover.
  2. Steam 5 minutes then check the lobster tails to see they are done. The shell will be red and the flesh opaque. Remove from the pot and transfer to a place to cool.
  3. 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.
  4. Cook 5 minutes until the onion is tender then add the canned tomatoes with juices, paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme and chicken broth.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. While the bisque is simmering, remove the lobster flesh from the shells. Roughly chop into 1” inch pieces.
  7. Stir the coconut cream into the pot with the chopped lobster. Cook another 5 minutes then serve!
