Boom! Done! Looks wonderful, doesn’t it? This is pasta for spicy food lovers for sure. Add in some extra spicy chili flakes for me, please. I just love this recipe. You will love this one, my spicy food loving friends! “Fra Diavolo” translates to “brother devil”, so that gives you an idea of what to expect. Shrimp Fra Diavolo is one of my favorite pasta dishes, with linguine or other pasta noodles tossed in a fiery tomato-based sauce and shrimp. It’s the perfect weekend meal, but really anytime as it is incredibly quick and easy to make. I’ve learned from some Italians that it isn’t even served in Italy. Regardless of where it is from, it is delicious and spicy and just right for those with a spicy food crave like me. I absolutely love it. So let’s get cooking! Let’s talk about how to make shrimp fra diavolo, shall we? Onion, Peppers and Garlic. Add the onion and red pepper to the hot pan. Cook them down for 5 minutes to soften. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until you can smell that gorgeous garlic. You can also use a large pot if making a big batch sauce. Tomatoes and Seasonings. Add the tomatoes with their juices, red chili flakes, white wine, oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the Spicy Tomato Sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes (or longer) to let the flavor develop, stirring occasionally. You can cook the pasta while the sauce simmers. You can stir some of the pasta water into the sauce to thicken it. The cooking water has starches that can build some body into the sauce. Toss with Pasta Noodles. Toss the sauce and shrimp with your prepared linguine or other pasta noodles cooked in salted water. Garnish with extra spicy red chili flakes and fresh herbs. Got any questions? Ask away! I’m happy to help. If you enjoy this recipe, I hope you’ll leave a comment with some STARS.
