Excellent and Easy Peppery Dish... I made this and my 21-yr.-old and I gobbled it up! This comes together quick and yet has complex flavors for those who love spicey! A few changes that work for me: as ALWAYS I switch capers for green peas, and I nixed the green olives (too olivey unless you're going for an olive salad). I threw in a can of well rinsed tiny shrimp that I always douse in lemon juice to take away the "canned" taste, and it was DELISH!!!!!!!!!
