Instructions
-
Soak planks in cold water for 10-20 minutes. Cook prawns for 8-10 minutes, until they are no longer glossy in appearance.
-
Cook potatoes in boiling water until tender. Drain, cut in half and set aside.
-
Peel oranges. Cut segments from membrane with a sharp knife, collecting enough juice to make 3 tablespoons and reserving segments separately.
-
Whisk together orange juice, 1/2 cup olive oil and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Combine prawns, 2 tablespoons olive oil, fennel, shallot and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Arrange prawns under the fennel mixture in a single layer on the planks, dividing prawns and fennel evenly. Grill over medium-high heat until prawns are cooked and plank is well-charred. Just before removing from grill, drizzle each with 1 teaspoon vinaigrette.
-
Toss lettuce lightly with some of the vinaigrette. Gently mix in blackberries, potatoes, orange segments and additional vinaigrette as needed.
-
Divide salad onto four plates. Slide prawns and fennel over salads and serve.
