In a mortar, pound the garlic, ginger and salt to a paste; alternatively, puree in a mini-processor.

Stir in the shrimp and marinate for 2 hours.
6
Light a grill.

To suspend the shrimp 2 to 3 inches above the grill, place rocks or bunched-up foil on either end of the grill.
9
When the fire is hot, rest the skewers on the rocks and cover the grill.
10
Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the marinade has formed a firm, crusty coating on the bottom of the shrimp.

Baste the shrimp with the butter and turn the skewers.
12
Cover and grill the shrimp until just cooked through, about 4 minutes longer.
13
Transfer the shrimp to plates and serve at once, with lemon wedges.
