VEGGIES: Vegetables just taste better when they're grilled, especially corn-on-the-cob. There are a couple of good ways to grill corn. One is to leave the corn in the husk and soak it in heavily salted water for an hour or so. Be sure to trim off the silk tops, then place directly on the grill, turning every 15 minutes or so, and cook for about one hour total. Handle with care as it will be very hot. You can also remove the husk and wrap the corn in foil with a generous amount of butter applied. This way also takes about one hour to thoroughly cook.

A good way to cook other kinds of veggies is to cut them into 1 to 2 inch pieces and place them on skewers and grill them until done. If you're using wood skewers, be sure to soak them in water first to avoid splintering.

SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE: Peel and de-vein the shrimp and place on skewers. Baste with butter and lemon while grilling. You can also use soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and even barbecue sauce to baste. It only takes shrimp a little while to cook and is usually done when it turns red on the outside and white on the inside. (About 10 to 15 minutes.)

GRILLING FRESH FISH: A good way to do this is to place the fish on a foil "boat" or simply wrap the fish in foil. Otherwise, the fish will crumble and fall through the grill into the coals. Baste with butter and lemon and cook until it's white and flakey and pulls apart easily. Again, it usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
