Australian Shrimp On The Barbie

This Shrimp is sooo finger likin' good! My 3 year old son (who is very small for his age and outragously finicky) ate 2 whole kabobs by himself!!! I was shocked, and it was so easy to prepare and cook we will definatly be enjoying shrimp with other meals, it has become a regular dinner starter for us.
