Shrimp on the Barbie

Last night Tyler and I decided to try to cook our own shrimp on the barbie. I had always thought this was an Australian food - probably influenced in my mind by Outback Steakhouse - but I haven't seen it on a single menu down here. So we decided to cook our own. I had found a recipe online that required marinating the shrimp for 5 hours beforehand so I did that in the afternoon. Then I walked over to the train station to pick up Tyler so we could walk back together, stopped for a hh, and then got home to get the grill ready and stuff. We only needed to cook the shrimp for like 2 minutes on each side so it went super fast but I think it turned out pretty good! Yay! :)

Speaking of Barbie - can I also mention other Aussie words that they just add "ie" to on the end: Sunnies, brekkie, bikey (as in "bikie gangs" aka biker gangs), bities, mozzie, shonky, tazie

And non-ie words: bonzor! (wow!), shiela (girl), bushwalking
