Lime and Ginger Grilled Prawns with Cilantro-Garlic Butter
This is my favorite dinner entree at The Albion River Inn on the Mendocino coast. It is almost impossible not to order this every time I am there for dinner. They usually serve it over a bed of Jasmine rice. It's simple, yet packed with flavor! Yield: 2 pounds of prawns should serve approximately 5 people
