Mmmm - I can see this as an excellent accompaniment to "Shark Bites" (bite-sized cubes of shark run under the broiler or skewered on the grill).

Most grilled seafoods, chicken, pork, vegetables. For some reason I just love the combination of aiolis with grilled foods, mainly because grilled foods are usually less oily than foods that you pan sear, bake, or broil. I also like to use vinaigrettes as sauces for grilled foods. I hardly ever use an aioli for foods that are not grilled.
