Cut the cooked potatoes into quarters and put them directly into the vinaigrette while they are hot to infuse flavour.

Zest 2-3 tablespoons of grapefruit peel. Then, peel and segment the grapefruit and place in a strainer over a bowl to save juice for searing the prawns.

6
Pluck individual tarragon leaves from the stem. Set all ingredients aside.

In a hot sauté pan, sear prawns in one tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the prawns for approximately one or two minutes on each side or until cooked.
