Shrimp On The Barbie
12 Giant Prawns, shelled and heads and tails intact
1/4 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)
• 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.
• Smaller prawn will be done at this point, but continue basting and turning larger prawn until they are pink and cooked through.
• Remove from heat immediately when done, as they will get tough if overcooked.
• Use any remaining sauce for a dip for the prawns.
