Recipe by Giada De Laurentiis

This dish is one of my favorite ways to cook fresh shrimp. “Fra Diavolo” translates to “devil’s brother” in Italian, because this recipe has got quite a fiery kick from red pepper flakes. What I love, though, is that it’s not just spicy – it has tons of bright, fresh flavor from the herbs and tomatoes. It’s delicious, quick to cook, and quite healthy. What’s not to love?

You can serve this as-is, but I love it with pasta (it’s fabulous with calamarata, or even angel hair or spaghettini), rice, risotto, or even just crusty bread – anything to help soak up that delicious pan-sauce.

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound large shrimp , peeled, deveined
1 teaspoon salt ,plus additional as needed
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons olive oil ,plus 1 to 2 tablespoons
1 medium onion , sliced
1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 cup dry white wine
3 garlic cloves chopped
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves , such as Tutto Calabria
3 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
3 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves

INSTRUCTIONS:

Toss the shrimp in a medium bowl with 1 teaspoon of salt and red pepper flakes. Heat the 3 tablespoons oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and saute for about a minute, toss, and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer the shrimp to a large plate; set aside. Add the onion to the same skillet, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the pan, if necessary, and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juices, wine, garlic, and oregano. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
Return the shrimp and any accumulated juices to the tomato mixture; toss to coat, and cook for about a minute so the flavors meld together. Stir in the parsley and basil. Season with more salt, to taste, and serve.
