Ingredients

1 pound spot prawns, alive and ready to kill you back
1 stick unsalted butter or equivalent in ghee
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon Ghost pepper salt* (very optional) or sea salt

Directions

1

Fire up your coals on your Weber or whatever grill apparatus you typically deploy.
2

Meanwhile, in a small sauce pan melt the butter. If you want to take the step to clarify it, I say good on you.
3

Blend your other spice ingredients into the hot butter.
4

Hopefully by now your grill is ready. If it is, it's time to place your prawns/shrimp directly on the grill. Cover it and wait for about one minute. Now, grab a basting brush and paint your prawns with spicy butter. Cover once again.
5

Turn the prawns once and baste some more until they look like the ones in the photo.
6

Serve with white, long grain rice.

*Ghost pepper salt is kind of a hip, new ingredient. It is salt flavored with ghost peppers which are way up there in scoville units of heat. But they are not essential to the dish, so feel free to use your favorite sea salt.
