    Shrimp on the barbie! Classic Aussie line. BBQ shrimp always brings out memories of summer for me, but it looks like you can make yours in the oven at any time of the year. Great marinade recipe — I’ve also used a classic vinaigrette marinade on the grill, and had good luck with that. Thanks for sharing!

    Oh this sounds wonderful, I have never had it with lime, but I love grilled shrimp and this is neat because it can be broiled in our oven, thank you for sharing this recipe, on my list to try
