A dish of relatively recent vintage (perhaps inspired by a similar concoction from Bonefish Grill), these are good-size shrimp fried without a batter. They're then tossed in a spicy aioli to coat them, and then in crushed, toasted peanuts, which stick to the aioli-covered shrimp. This is an irresistible combination of flavors, and a great nibble with a glass of wine or a cocktail. Beware having too many on the table. You can't stop eating them, and they can fill you up.
