 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 12                    Giant Prawns, shelled and
                       -deveined (heads and tails
                       -intact)
    1/4   c            Butter
  1       c            Orange juice (freshly
                       -squeezed)
  2       tb           Sherry
  1       t            Orange Zest (grated)
  2       ea           Green onions, tops and white
                       -(minced)
  1       t            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 of
 overcooked. Use any remaining sauce for a dip for the
 prawns.
