- 1 c orange juice freshly squeezed
- 2 T medium dry sherry
- 1 t orange zest grated
- 2 green onions tops and white

- 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.
