Shrimp With Orange, Sherry, Ginger Sauce Recipe
Ingredients:
- 12 Prawns, shelled and deveined (heads and tails intact)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tbsp sherry
- 1 tsp orange zest, grated
- 2 green onions, tops and white, minced
- 1 tsp ginger root, freshly grated
Directions:
- 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.
