Step 1
Cut the 2 lobster tails in half lengthwise and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Sear the lobster halves flesh-side down until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil, 1 chopped onion, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in 2 tbsp curry powder and 2 tbsp tomato paste, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the 1 can coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Return the lobster to the skillet, spoon sauce over, and simmer until lobster is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Serve hot, sprinkled with the 0.25 cup crushed peanuts.
