Shrimp Fra Diavolo Pizza

Fra diavolo, which literally means “devil brother,” is a popular sauce often used with seafood. The devil in this case is a little heat courtesy of the use of some black and red pepper. I would consider this only moderately spicy since we are, frankly, pretty wimpy about spicy food in our household. If you are bolder, then go ahead and take it up a notch! Either way, this shrimp pizza is sure to please the seafood lover!
