This sounds really good! Submitted for zwt '06

Soak 12 long wooded skewers in water for 30 minutes.

Push skewers through shrimp lengthwise from top to tail , 1 shrimp per skewer.

Combine all other ingredients in saucepan and cook over low to medium heat , stirring , until butter is completely melted.

Dip skewered shrimp in orange sauce and position on oiled grill rack about 4 inches above the coals.

Baste liberally with sauce and grill for 2 minutes.

Turn shrimp over and baste again , cooking for another 2 minutes.

Smaller shrimp will be done at this point , but continue basting and turning larger shrimp 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 shrimp.

jumbo shrimp, butter, orange juice, sherry wine, orange zest, scallions, gingerroot
