In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.
Fra Diavolo means "spicy brother" so even though I did make my own changes to this recipe of Shrimp Fra'Diavolo, I made sure to keep the dish spicy, and hot.
Not enough to scare you away, or burn the taste buds off your tongue. Just enough to keep you on your toes. HaHa. I think I need another helping. 🙂

I love anything with shrimps and I love anything spicy. My partner loves shrimp too but is not that fussed on spicy. He will however eat just about anything put in front of him if it contains broccoli. so this dish looks like a win:win to me 🙂

Using salsa as a pasta sauce is a great idea! I've used for a peach picante chicken and it was so simple, all the dicing is already done!

I love the salsa - what a great idea to include in the sauce! And almost exactly the same thing happened to me this month. I selected the recipe I wanted to make the first day I was assigned my secret blog. I too thought we had another week. Luckily I had all the components made and really just had to assemble and bake. But I woke up yesterday so sick I could hardly raise my head. But there was no way I could disappoint my assigned blogger - I love her site and was so excited over the recipe. Somehow it all happened, but I've got to get better at scheduling 🙂
Sarah E. says
I'm not typically one for shrimp but WOW!! That looks incredibly delicious 🙂 Happy reveal day.
