Anyone who has eaten bar-b-que shrimp knows what this is all about.  Fresh shrimp baked in a buttery sauce with spices and garlic… what can go wrong with that?  The answer is, not much!  This dish is as easy as it is delicious.  Sure, peeling those shrimp (leave the tails on) is slightly time consuming but in the time you could run two 11 minute miles, you could have two pounds of shrimp cleaned and de-veined.  Skip the aerobics!  This is a far better use of your time than exercise!  This Southern Italian dish is complemented by a crisp white wine and a hunk of good bread.  And maybe some Sinatra or The Godfather in the background.
