Shrimp Fra Diavolo

I love pasta, but this recipe is one of my absolute favorites because its a seafood pasta. Fra Diavolo means "Brother Devil" in Italian and is the name for a spicy sauce for pasta or seafood, in this case both! This is a Cooking Light recipe that is easy to alternate to your own taste!
