SPICE UP YOUR LIFE

If you like spicy Shrimp Fra Diavolo is for you. There is nothing like a little heat when eating Italian food. Red pepper flakes are from heaven and I think they were specially made to be combined with shrimp.

Shrimp are no doubt one of my favorite foods. These little delicacies can be used in a variety of dishes. I love breaded shrimp and can eat them by the pound. When I get a taste for spicy food this is the recipe for me.

Some people say the spicier the better but I don�t believe in overpowering the dish with too much spice. You still want to be able to enjoy the shrimp without burning your taste buds off.
