Steps:

• Heat a charcoal grill, or if using a barbecue, heat it to the white-heat stage.

• Place the lobster flesh side down onto the grill and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, make the mango salsa.
• To serve, place one half of the lobster on each plate and serve with spoonfuls of the salsa on the side.
• In a medium bowl, combine mango, red onion, chile pepper, parsley, cilantro, spring onions, lime juice, and olive oil. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Set aside at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
