These are Prawns. No-one in Australia would call a prawn a “shrimp,” unless he was taking the piss out of Americans, in which case he might use “barbie” as well.

While prawns in Australia are occasionally barbecued, they are more commonly cooked by boiling, briefly, cooled in ice and eaten cold, with beer. Lots of beer.
