About this Shrimp Fra diavolo recipe
Unlike regular spaghetti sauce , fra Diavolo sauce is spicy. How spicy depends on your taste. It’s also thicker and more concentrated. And although its loaded with flavor the ingredients are simple.
Unlike Arrabiata sauce , which is also spicy, fra Diavolo sauce never includes basil or capers, and is usually paired with shrimp.
I like to serve this with crusty Italian bread to sop up all the delicious sauce, or pasta for a complete satisfying meal.
