Steamed Prawns ?!? I doubt it, BBQ'd or fried is much more common in Australia. Don't know where the steamed came from

Your standard cooked prawns, where you peel them and then eat them, and the ones like in a prawn cocktail, are steamed. Common whole cooked prawns from the supermarket, have been steamed. These days the Japanese tempura style deep fried prawns seem pretty common though. Format 06:35, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree firstly, no aussie born person calls them shrimps and the most common prawns cooked at home are bbqd. or cold that have been steamed at the fish shop.--Mcgrath50 12:20, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Even in the US it is understood that 'shrimp' in this context means a lobster, not a prawn. Does anyone think a single prawn would be much of a snack even? I would be a bit put off if someone offered me a single prawn! 71.255.204.34 (talk) 22:44, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Nothing to do with a lobster. Australians use the word prawn for what Americans call a Shrimp. Agree that a single prawn is a pretty paltry offer - but this was what was depicted in the advertisement - which is why it was so ridiculous. Format (talk) 01:37, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] INWO

I recall that there's an "Australia" card in INWO assassins that I got from a TCG magazine - that one had a flavour text along the lines of "G'day, mate! Grab a coldie and I'll throw another prawn on the barbie!" I don't think I've got it anymore, though, and I haven't been able to find the exact quote on Google, so I can't add it to the list - but if somebody else still has that card, please do. :) -- Schneelocke 20:55, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
