  • 12 Giant Prawns shelled and heads and tails intact
  • ¼ cup Butter
  • 1 cup Orange juice freshly, squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons Sherry
  • 1 teaspoon Orange Zest grated
  • 2 each Green onions tops and white
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger root (freshly grated)

Instructions

  • Soak a dozen long wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
  • Then push skewers through prawns, lengthwise, from head to tail with only 1 to a skewer.
  • Combine all ingredients in saucepan and cook over medium to low heat, stirring, until butter is completely melted.
  • Dip skewered prawns in the orange sauce and position on oiled grill rack about 4 inches above the coals.
  • Baste liberally with sauce and grill for 2 minutes.
  • Turn the prawn over and baste again, cooking for another 2 minutes.
