Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl and add a little of the hot mixture, stirring quickly to prevent eggs from cooking. Whisk warm egg mixture into hot mixture and cook, stirring continuously, for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and blend in lemon juice and butter. Set aside. In medium bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form; then add 1-1/2 Tblsp of sugar and mix until blended in. Pour warm orange filling into warm pie shell. Spoon sweetened egg whites on top of filling and bake at 350�F until meringue is lightly browned.
