PREPARATION

Preheat a stove top grill plate over high heat. When the grill is hot; spray lightly with non-aerosol olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Spray the lobster tail meat with oil and season with salt, pepper, and chile powder. Grill the lobster tail, meat side down for 5 minutes; turn over and cook shell side down for 5 minutes. Remove tails from grill and set aside to cool. Once cool, take the lobster meat out of the shell and cut into small pieces. Season grill surface with non-aerosol oil spray and cook shrimp for 5 minutes or until just firm. Remove from grill and set aside to cool completely.

Combine lobster and shrimp in a medium bowl. Pour the citrus juices over seafood and add the onions, tomatoes, cilantro, Serrano pepper, mango, ketchup, olive oil, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Toss gently to blend flavors; cover and refrigerate 4 hours. To serve, drain the juice and gently toss mixture. Arrange on salad greens on individual plates or in a large serving dish. Garnish with fresh avocado slices, lime wedges and blue corn chips.

Enjoy alongside an ice cold Kalik or Sands, or a nice glass of chilled sauvignon blanc.
