Shrimp are baked in a savory Fra Diavolo sauce on simple tartlets made from a piece of dough. To form this appetizer, you'll need a mini muffin tin. For 12 servings, you'll need just six shrimp—a budget-friendly appetizer with a Mediterranean flair. Before serving, garnish with a fresh basil leaf and enjoy the combination of flavors.
