Shrimp Fra Diavolo
My son Keith made Shrimp Fra Diavolo for our dinner last night. Aside from the fact that it was very nice to be a guest for dinner in my own home, this was a really tasty Shrimp Fra Diavolo. This recipe is worth adding to my recipes.
Keith made this Shrimp Fra Diavolo quite spicy, but you can alter the amount of red pepper flakes to your own taste. We also used a full 2 lbs. of shrimp with one pound of linguine which gave this meal a super healthy dose of shrimp. You certainly can make this same recipe using one pound of shrimp.
