Australian Spiced Shrimp

Australian Spiced Shrimp is a superb Aussie bbq treat. They are simple to produce and only take a few minutes each. On a bbq, you can cook 12 skewers in a go easily. They don’t last long as rather popular. I normally leave the tails on to make them easier to pick up. You could also marinade the shrimp if you prefer. We have more recipes in our marinade category.  Served alongside Finger Licking Honey Spareribs, Teriyaki Chicken and Scallop Kebabs for a bbq that everyone will be talking about.  I did a shrimp selection that went down really well. It included Australian Spiced Shrimp, Cajun-Style Shrimp, Spicy Bbq Shrimp  and Shrimp Satay for a dish that everybody tucked into.
