Sicilian Shrimp with Hot Peppers and Lots of Garlic
These shrimp go great with a glass of wine and a conversation. It's a dish to be shared, because if everyone is eating it, you won't have to worry about reeking of garlic... or you could just eat it all by yourself when no one else is around to the same effect. It's fun either way.
