Shrimp a la Diabla
This dish was inspired by the Mexican dish, camarones a la diabla, which translates to "deviled shrimp," and has some spice to it, as the name suggests. For a milder version, substitute ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes for the chipotle pepper. Serve over rice or pasta, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
