Seafood Fra Diavolo
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #HuntsHasHeart #CollectiveBias In the typical sigh-inducing retail fashion, there’s been Valentine’s Day decorations out at the drugstore since right after Christmas.

Spicy Fried Shrimp
