Grilled Prawns (Shrimp) With Papaya Salsa image

This is from Australian Table magazine, 2004. A posh addition to your next barbie! (I always think prawns look fancy, even though their not really). Note that the recipe actually calls for at least 2 limes, one for the marinade, and one for the salsa, and an extra one to garnish, if you so wish.
