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.
