Steps:

• Bring 9 cups water and salt to a boil in a Dutch oven or large pot. Add lobster; simmer, uncovered, until shells turn bright red and meat is tender, 8 to 12 minutes. Drain. Cut tails lengthwise with kitchen shears through the center of the shells. Remove meat and chop into bite-sized pieces.

• Toss tots with oil on the prepared baking pan, then spread into a single layer. Transfer pan to grill; cook for 10 minutes, then toss to turn. Continue grilling, tossing occasionally, until tots are browned on all sides, about 15 minutes more.
• Melt butter in Dutch oven over medium heat. Add lobster and bring to a simmer to heat through, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Blend avocado, sour cream, and lime juice in a blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer tots to a serving platter, and top with lobster and melted butter. Top with avocado sauce, Sriracha, and chives.
