Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a large sauté pan. Add the lobster tails, flesh side down and sear until golden brown. Once golden brown, flip over and add 3 tablespoons of butter. While the butter is browning, add the mango and the serrano chili. After the butter has browned, add the ¼-½ cup water.

Stir in the cilantro and mint.
