Australian Shrimp On The Barbie

Although the recipe looks great - and delicious - it has definitely been "Americanised" (or Americanized as the Americans would put it!). In Australia we do not call them shrimps - they are prawns. Nor do we call that herb "cilantro" - it is coriander! To tell you the truth though we don't really put prawns on the barbie (much!). they tend to toughen up more if they are on the barbie. We boil them like everyone else and then serve them with everything else cooked on the barbie. Sorry to sound all defensive about Aussie food (have we been around long enough to establish Aussie food?)It has been a long day and I just had to have a whinge about something!
