Make sure that the lobster is no longer alive and put it whole to boil in a pot filled with water for 10 minutes.

Cut the red onions into wheels. To soften the flavor of the onions, and prevent them from being too dominant, put under them water and a tablespoon of white wine vinegar for 10-15 minutes.
