Shrimp Fra Diavolo

This shrimp far diavolo seriously hit the spot at my Sunday family dinner.

Last weekend we had some family over and I was craving something spicy. I’ve been on a big shrimp kick lately and this couldn’t have been more perfect.

Usually when I’m in the mood for seafood I make something like Baked Italian Shrimp or Shrimp Scampi.

Both are amazing but lack the kick I was looking for.

This recipe completely hit the spot! The shrimp are perfectly seasoned and cooked in a spicy tomato sauce.

Don’t worry, the heat is completely customizable. Add more or less hot pepper according to your tolerance.

You can serve this as is or over a nice big plate of pasta. I’ve even eaten it over white rice and loved it.

It made me very happy that everyone at our family dinner thought it was a big hit.

I really hope you give this one a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and friends do.?

Shrimp Fra Diavolo Variations

I like this shrimp recipe made just the way it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

• Shrimp- The tails hold a lot of flavor and give you something to hold onto. If you’d prefer to remove them though, you absolutely can.
• Serving- Lots of people like to serve this over spaghetti. Just make a litter less than the amount of shrimp that the recipe calls for to leave plenty of sauce for your pasta.
