Method
Step 1
Combine the lime juice, oil, ginger, lemongrass, chilli and sugar in a small bowl. Season with salt. Set aside to develop the flavours.
Step 2
Meanwhile, use a small sharp knife to cut away the peel and white pith from the grapefruit. Working over a bowl, cut in between each membrane to release the segments.
Step 3
Arrange the grapefruit, oranges, mandarins, shallot, mint and coriander on a serving platter. Drizzle with the lime mixture and sprinkle with peanuts.
