Cajun BBQ Prawns

==Description==
Recommended wine is "Mersaut, Charriere, Thillets Vineyard", but personally, forget the beverage, just give me the prawns! This has been a favorite of mine for YEARS, but I just found the recipe in "Savoring Seattle". 100% of net proceeds go to FareStart which is an internationally acclaimed job training program for the homeless. I have no affiliation with the organization, but I do love a good cause, so if you like cookbooks, check this one out! It's a good one featuring 38 of Seattle's "Best" Chef's.
===Ingredients===
* 3 	 tablespoons chopped garlic
*1/4 	cup olive oil
*2 	tablespoons seasoning, mix (recipe follows)
*2 	tablespoons lemon juice
*2 	tablespoons honey
*2 	tablespoons soy sauce (use San-J Wheat-Free Tamari to make this gluten-free and wheat-free)
*2 	tablespoons chopped parsley
*1 1/4 	lbs peeled and deveined 21-25 count prawns
*3/4 	cup unsalted butter
====Seasoning Mix====
*1/4 	cup Cayenne
*1/4 	cup ground black pepper
*2 	tablespoons salt
*2 	tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
*2 	tablespoons dried whole thyme
*2 	tablespoons dried rosemary leaves
*1 	teaspoon dry oregano
===Directions===
Mix all the seasoning mix ingredients in a food processor and set aside.<BR>
Stored in a sealed container, it will keep indefinitely for future use.<BR>
Blend the garlic, olive oil, 2 T seasoning mix, lemon juice, honey, and soy sauce in a bowl.<BR>
Add the prawns and the chopped parsley to the mixture and toss well to coat.<BR>
Refigerate overnight.<BR>
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.<BR>
Place prawns with the marinade in a large, heavy skillet (large enough to fit prawns in a single layer or cook in batches) and place in oven.<BR>
In about 2 to 3 minutes, shake the pan to ensure even cooking and repeat in another 2 to 3 minutes.<BR>
At this point the mixture should be bubbling and the prawns will be turning opaque.<BR>
Transfer the pan to a stovetop, over medium heat and begin adding the butter in 1 to 2 T increments, shaking the pan the entire time, allowing the butter to emulsify into the mixture before adding any more butter.<BR>
This process should take about 4 to 5 minutes.<BR>
When completed, pour onto a platter and serve immediately with plenty of good, crispy bread.
