As you'll soon realize Shrimp on the Barbie is a misnomer. It should be Shrimp on the Grill. Charcoal grills are the preferred method of cooking here. If the coals don't ash, there is unspent fuel that could wind up in your food. In order to grill, you've got to sizzle .
Nothing is worse than having to gnaw on a tasteless, overcooked piece of animal flesh.
With point number three in mind, make sure you choose a relatively small cut that will cook through on the inside before it burns on the outside. Also, select a relatively tender cut since the meat won't spend a lot of time on the grill tenderizing. The type of meats we're talking about include Steaks, Chops and tenderloin along with burgers and sausage.
