With Lent being here and Easter right around the corner this time of year every Friday we have fish or seafood. This Shrimp Marinara Recipe has a little bit of heat and it is delicious. You could use your choice of raw or cooked shrimp; I used cooked shrimp in this recipe. If you are looking for a change on Fridays this will do it, and your Family or Guests will love it. If you don’t want this on the hot side, just cut down on the red pepper or eliminate it. Garnish with parmesan cheese and serve with garlic bread. Enjoy
