7.Brush the cut side of the lobster generously with olive oil, and sprinkle with the mint tea powder.
8.Grill the lobster halves, shell-side down for 6-8 minutes until almost cooked through.
9.Flip them over onto their flesh side, and grill for another few minutes until completely cooked through.
10.Plate the lobster and spoon over some of the delicious grapefruit salsa.
