shrimp fra diavolo
Fra Diavolo is a spicy tomato-based Italian sauce used most often for pasta and seafood. 'Fra Diavolo' is Italian for "devil monk", indicating the spicy tone of the sauce. Here the Fra Diavolo base adds a slight kick to fresh shrimp, creating a delicious dish with a hint of heat. It's a fairly complete main dish as written. But for more of a complete meal you can serve it over some cooked pasta if you wish, such as spaghetti, capellini, vermicelli or linguine. And don't forget to serve it with a fresh baked baguette to soak up the sauce! It's 209.3 calories per serving (without noodles).

How To Make shrimp fra diavolo
-
Step 1Toss the shrimp in a medium bowl with lemon juice, salt and red pepper flakes.
-
Step 2Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sauté for about a minute. Toss shrimp, and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer the shrimp to a large plate; set aside.
-
Step 3Add the onion to the same skillet, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the pan, if necessary, and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 4Add the tomatoes with their juices, wine, garlic, and oregano. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
-
Step 5Return 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 additional salt if desired. Garnish each serving with a lemon wedge, and serve immediately.
