Throw a Shrimp on the Barbie

Throw a Shrimp on the Barbie. Love this Australian saying! Suitable for this recipe, as this literally what you need to do in the Summer time with a nice glass of cold Pino Grigio.

Perfect for any night of the week! Prepare your prawns and let them marinate in the summer flavours with a little hint of chilli. I simply serve these delicious crustaceans with a fresh salad and roasted herb potatoes.

If you don’t have a BBQ, a grill plates works just well. Make sure its hot for the sound of the sizzlle!
