How To Make shrimp fra diavolo

  • Step 1
    In a large bowl combine prawns, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, and salt. Pour in 1 Tbsp oil and toss to coat.
  • Step 2
    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 2 Tbsp oil. When it starts shimmering, add shrimp mixture in a single layer. Cook for 1:30 minutes per side (*see footnote).
  • Step 3
    Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a bowl and set aside.
  • Step 4
    In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add onions; sprinkle on salt. Sauté for 2 minutes or until translucent.
  • Step 5
    Add roasted red peppers and garlic; sauté for 1 minute. Add tomato paste and stir to coat.
  • Step 6
    Add diced tomatoes and pour in white wine; season with black pepper and Italian seasoning. Stir well, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
  • Step 7
    Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package directions.
  • Step 8
    Return the shrimp to the skillet including any accumulated juices and add lemon zest. Cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
  • Step 9
    Add cooked linguine and chopped parsley; stir until blended. Serve in warm bowls and sprinkle on some Parmesan cheese.
  • Step 10
    Footnote: I sauté the prawns/shrimp for 1:30 minutes and then only 1 minute after I flip them.
  • Step 11
