Preparing the lobster
- Cook the lobsters in boiling salted water for 8 minutes.

- Peel and dice the pepper the same size.
- Finely dice the shallot.
- Combine the pepper, mango, shallot and chives in a mixing bowl.
- Add the champagne vinegar and the blended oil and season to taste; add a pinch of cayenne pepper and the juice from the 1/2 lime.
Preparing the lobster mayonnaise
- In a clean mixing bowl mix the sherry vinegar, egg yolk and Dijon mustard.
- Gradually add the lobster oil, whisking continuously to form an emulsion.
- Season the mayonnaise to taste with salt and pepper and a pinch of cayenne pepper; add a few drops of lime if you wish to add a nice sharpness.
Presentation
- Arrange the mango salsa in the center of a plate with the room temperature lobster meat on top.
- Divide the caviar evenly on top of the lobster and drizzle the mayonnaise around the outside.
