My town of Mola di Bari, Italy is a small fishing village on the Adriatic Sea.  Lots of fresh seafood is eaten almost daily.  Adding some shrimp or clams or any other type of seafood is often made into a simple pasta dish.  Beginning with Olive Oil,  garlic, maybe a little spice and some herbs... always a favorite!
