Steps

  • Cut through the lobster head joints and drain cut-side down on kitchen paper.
  • Chop off the tail fans and set them aside.
  • Remove the tail meat in one piece and carefully extract the claw meat.
  • Warm the lobster meat in a pan with butter over medium heat.
  • Cover the pan with film and use a smoke gun to smoke for five seconds.
  • Let the lobster cool while sealed under the film.
  • Purée the mango, vanilla seeds, and lime juice in a food processor and sieve.
  • Stir in sherry vinegar and season with salt, pepper, and extra lime.
  • Toss frisée, radishes, and chives with a small amount of the dressing.
  • Mix the remaining salad leaves together in a separate bowl.
  • Place lobster heads at the top of the plates and arrange frisée down the center.
  • Slice the tail meat, place over the frisée, and add the tail fans at the bottom.
  • Position claw meat on either side of the heads to recreate a lobster shape.
  • Scatter the remaining leaves and diced red pepper around the plate.
  • Drizzle the finished salad with the remaining mango dressing.
