Ingredients:
15 whole florida lobsters, split
salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 yellowtail snapper, previously scored and marinated in fresh mojo, recipe follows (can substitute any variety of snapper, such as white bass)

Directions:
1. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
2. Season the lobsters with salt and pepper. Place both the lobsters and the marinated yellowtail snapper on the grill. Grill over medium heat until the lobsters are white and begin to separate from the shell and the snapper is opaque and no longer mushy (should be soft and slightly firm to the touch).
3. After removing from the grill, divide each yellowtail snapper into 2 servings. Place 1 whole lobster and half a yellowtail snapper on each plate. Top the lobster with the Mango Salsa. Serve with grilled vegetables of your choice and Garlic Whipped Boniato.

7. 4 tablespoons ground cumin
8. 1/2 cup chopped garlic
9. 4 tablespoons salt

13. 2 cups diced mango
14. 1/4 cup diced roasted red pepper
15. 1/4 cup cooked black beans

18. 2 tablespoons honey
19. 1/2 cup vegetable oil
