I'm not a big fan of olives, but I really liked the way they added a briny flavor to this dish.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some cooked shrimp in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I didn't have any capers on hand, so I used chopped pickles instead. It turned out great!

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by using less red pepper flakes.
