INGREDIENTS

6 cups diced seedless watermelon
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/2 cup lime juice
8-10 mint leaves, plus more for chiffonade garnish
6 ounces fresh lobster meat

Place the watermelon, ginger, ½ cup lime juice, and mint leaves in a blender and purée until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Lightly dress the lobster meat with the olive oil, juice from the ½ lime, salt, and pepper. Plate 2 tablespoons of lobster in the center of the soup bowls (using a ring mold if available) and pour the watermelon soup around the lobster; garnish with mint and the sprouts, if using, and serve immediately.
