Salt and Pepper Shrimp with Lime Garlic Aioli

A spicy/cool appetizer or entree

1 lb medium shrimp (easy-peel if you can find them)
salt
fresh ground black pepper
garlic powder
onion powder

1 lime
1 clove garlic minced
1/4 cup good mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Aioli:
Mix mayonnaise and sour cream
zest the lime and add it to the mixture
add a healthy squeeze of the lime juice
add 1/2 minced gaarlic clove
Stir well and chill

Shrimp:
Dust the shrimp liberally with seasonings.
Either skewer the shrimp and grill them or add them to a hot saute pan and cook until a bright pink on both sides

Cook's Note: It is important that the pepper be fresh so it imparts the appropriate heat, which is balanced by the cooling properties of the aioli.
