lobsters, shell side down. Cook over high heat 3-4 minutes

teaspoon freshly ground pepper. Spray all over with olive oil
cooking spray. Roast 13 minutes or until just cooked through.

tomalley and roe. Discard shells and set aside 4 claws.
Combine remaining lime juice, orange concentrate, Triple Sec,
green onions, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 2 teaspoons
olive oil. Toss lobster meat with mango, avocado, jicama and
cilantro, and red pepper. Dip oversize Margarita glass rims in
lime juice, then in coarse salt. Divide lobster mixture into
glasses. Place glasses on small plates. Insert a lime wedge in
each claw and use to garnish plates. Serve with baked chips.
