SEAFOOD LINGUINE FRA DIAVOLO



Seafood Linguine Fra Diavolo image

Seafood Linguine Fra Diavolo is an easy Italian 4 ingredient, 20 minute recipe with seafood and pasta in a spicy red sauce.

Provided by Elizabeth Lindemann

Categories     Pasta

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

16 oz. linguine ((or another long pasta shape, such as fettuccini or spaghetti))
kosher salt
1 - 1 1/2 lb. seafood (such as shrimp, scallops, and/or calamari (see notes))
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes ((depending on how spicy you want it))
24 oz. marinara sauce ((about 2 1/2 cups))
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley ((optional))
olive oil, more parsley, parmesan cheese, black pepper, and more crushed red pepper for serving ((optional))

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil and cook linguine according to directions until one minute before al dente.
  • Pat seafood dry with a paper towel. (If using frozen seafood, make sure it's completely defrosted.)
  • Heat the olive oil (2 tablespoons) in a large deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the seafood (16 oz.) and the crushed red pepper (1/2 -1 teaspoon) and sauté until seafood is cooked through, about 5-6 minutes (or if already cooked, heated through, about 3-4 minutes).
  • Add marinara sauce (24 oz.) and parsley (2 tablespoons, if using) to the seafood in the skillet and heat through. If it's ready before the pasta is done, turn off heat and cover to keep it warm.
  • When pasta is finished cooking to 1 minute before al dente, transfer it directly to the skillet with tongs, as well as 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, and toss to coat. Heat for about 1-2 more minutes, until the pasta is finished cooking to al dente and the sauce thickens and coats the pasta well (you can add more pasta water 1/4 cup at a time if it seems dry at all).
  • Serve with an extra drizzle of olive oil, parmesan cheese, parsley, black pepper, and more crushed red pepper if desired.

7 FISHES FRA DIAVOLO PASTA



7 Fishes Fra Diavolo Pasta image

Nothing says Christmas Eve to me like the Feast of the Seven Fishes. This Italian-American tradition is something I look forward to every year because it means that all of my family gathers around one table to crack shellfish, drink wine and laugh until Santa comes to town. My Nonna Marianna would spend days preparing for this meal, all the while teaching me to make her shellfish pasta, olive salads with calamari, stuffed squid, fried fish, and baccala folded into creamy risotto. While all of these dishes are incredible, I wanted to create a scaled-down version of this meal that still honors the Seven Fishes tradition. My family loves to spice it up, hence the inclusion of crushed red pepper to make this fra diavolo in style. Feel free to mix up the seafood to your family's favorites!

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup panko
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, zested and halved
1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1 shallot, thinly sliced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons anchovy paste
1 1/4 cups dry white wine
1 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed clean
1/2 pound mussels (about 8), beards removed
One 28-ounce can tomato puree
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 pound long pasta (I like fettucine or linguine)
1 pound center-cut halibut, skin removed, cut into 4 equal pieces
6 diver scallops (about 1/2 pound), tough side muscle removed
6 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 1/2 pound)
1 cup calamari rings (7 ounces)

Steps:

  • Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and heat until fragrant. Pour in the panko and shake into an even layer. Sprinkle in the lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Scrape the breadcrumbs into a bowl. Stir in the parsley and set aside for plating. Reserve the skillet.
  • While the breadcrumbs are cooking, place a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining olive oil and heat until fragrant. Add the shallot and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add in the garlic and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring, just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the anchovy paste and fry, stirring, for 1 minute more. Increase the heat to medium high. Add 1 cup of the white wine and cook, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the clams, cover and steam for 2 minutes. Add the mussels, cover again and steam just until the shellfish open, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the cooked shellfish to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon and set aside for plating. Reduce the heat to medium and add the tomato puree to the pan. Use the remaining 1/4 cup white wine to swish around any tomato puree clinging to the can (just like Nonna would). Add it to the sauce, along with the dried oregano. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions for al dente.
  • While the pasta cooks, sprinkle salt and black pepper on all sides of the scallops, shrimp and halibut. Place the reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the halibut and scallops, spacing them apart (so they sear, rather than steam). Cook, without disturbing, until deeply golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the scallops and cook the other side for 1 minute. Remove to a plate and set aside. Flip the halibut and cook until seared on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shrimp to the skillet, spacing them around the halibut, and cook until the shrimp are opaque and lightly seared, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the skillet from the heat and squeeze the lemon juice over the shrimp and halibut. Remove to the plate and set aside.
  • To finish the sauce, add the calamari and simmer for 1 minute over medium heat. Lift the pasta with tongs from the boiling water into the sauce. Toss until evenly coated. Add the cooked shellfish and any liquid that collected in the bowl. Toss to thoroughly combine.
  • To serve, plate the pasta first. Sprinkle generously with the breadcrumbs. Top with the seared scallops, shrimp and halibut. Serve immediately.

SHRIMP & LINGUINE FRA DIAVOLO



Shrimp & Linguine Fra Diavolo image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/3 cup panko (Japanese bread flakes)
8 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds large (16 to 20-count) shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 cups thinly sliced red onion (1 large)
2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2/3 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
Arrabbiata sauce, homemade, or 1 (24-ounce) jar Rao's
1 pound linguine, such as De Cecco

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium (10 to 11-inch) sauté pan over medium heat. Add the panko and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of the parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper and set aside.
  • Place the shrimp on a plate and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large (11 to 12-inch) pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 4 minutes, until it begins to soften. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for one minute. Add the shrimp in one layer and sauté for one minute on each side, until they start to turn pink but are not cooked through. Add the wine and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to reduce the liquid. Stir in the arrabbiata sauce and heat until it simmers. Stir in the remaining 6 tablespoons of parsley with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and turn off the heat.
  • Meanwhile, fill a very large pot with water, add 2 tablespoons salt, and bring to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the directions on the package for al dente. Reserve a cup of the pasta water, drain the pasta, and add it to the sauce. Toss the pasta, sauce, and shrimp together with tongs or big spoons and allow it to simmer for one minute for the pasta to absorb the sauce, adding enough pasta water to make a nice sauce and coat the pasta. Transfer to a large, shallow serving bowl, sprinkle with the toasted panko, and serve hot.

SHRIMP FRA DIAVOLO



Shrimp Fra Diavolo image

Shrimp fra diavolo is a spicy, delicious one-pan Italian dish. It's made with plump shrimp cooked in a flavorful, hearty tomato sauce with generous amounts of garlic, white wine, and fresh parsley. Serve it with your favorite crusty bread, pasta, or rice.

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories     Entree

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound large shrimp, (peeled and deveined, tails attached)
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, (more to your liking)
Extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, (chopped)
5 garlic cloves, (minced)
1 cup dry white wine
1 15- ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes, (or plain fire-roasted tomatoes)
¼ cup tomato paste
Black pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano
½ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Pat the shrimp dry and season with kosher salt and 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet. Add the shrimp and cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute over medium heat. Transfer the shrimp and its juices to a plate for now. (If the shrimp is still grey in some parts it is okay, it will finish cooking in the sauce).
  • In the same skillet, heat another 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over medium-high until shimmering. Reduce the heat to medium then add the onions and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes over medium heat, tossing regularly, until the onions have softened and turned a light golden brown (manage your heat to make sure the garlic does not burn). Add the white wine and cook until reduced by half.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, the oregano, and the remaining red pepper flakes. Bring to boil, then lower the heat to medium low and allow the sauce to simmer for 10 minutes or so until thickened.
  • Return the shrimp to the skillet and nestle it into the sauce. Cook for 1 more minute or until the shrimp is just warmed through and pink. Finish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite crusty bread, pasta, or rice.

CALAMARI FRA DIAVOLO OVER LINGUINE RECIPE BY TASTY



Calamari Fra Diavolo Over Linguine Recipe by Tasty image

In this classic Italian pasta dish, tender squid rings and tentacles simmer in a thick and spicy tomato sauce-fra diavolo means "brother devil" in Italian. Toss it with linguine, top with more parsley and red pepper flakes, and serve family style. We recommend using clam juice to enhance the seafood flavor, but chicken stock works too!

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
½ medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more as needed
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 ½ teaspoons red pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
¼ cup tomato paste
½ cup full bodied red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon
½ cup clam juice, or chicken broth
1 can whole peeled tomato, drained
1 lb calamari rings and tentacles, cleaned
¾ lb dried linguine
2 tablespoons lemon
½ cup fresh italian parsley, roughly chopped, divided

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil of medium-high heat.
  • While the water is boiling, make the sauce: In a separate large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and ½ teaspoon salt and sauté for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent. Add the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes and sauté for 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Add the tomato paste and mix until evenly combined with the aromatics. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomato paste has darkened and thickened. It is okay if some of the paste begins to stick to the bottom of the pot. Deglaze with the red wine and clam juice, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 4-6 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Add the whole peeled tomatoes and, using a potato masher, break up the tomatoes into bite-sized chunks. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  • Add the calamari and stir to coat in the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 25 minutes, until the calamari is very tender and the sauce has thickened. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt, plus more to taste.
  • When the calamari has 6-8 minutes cooking time left, drop the linguine into the boiling water and until just shy of al dente. Reserve ¼ cup (60 ml) of the pasta water.
  • Using tongs, transfer the linguine directly to the calamari sauce. Add the reserved pasta water and toss well to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the linguine is al dente and well coated in the sauce. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and half of the parsley.
  • Transfer the pasta to a large serving platter and garnish with remaining parsley and red pepper flakes.
  • Enjoy!

GRILLED SEAFOOD PASTA FRA DIAVOLO



Grilled Seafood Pasta Fra Diavolo image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red chili flakes
1 pound Campari tomatoes, halved
1 Anaheim chile pepper, halved and seeded
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 lobster tails
1 pound linguini
8 ounces large shrimp, shelled and deveined
Kosher salt
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup white wine
8 ounces clams, scrubbed
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Zest of 2 lemons
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the chili oil: Combine the oil and crushed red pepper flakes in a heavy small saucepan. Cook over low heat until a thermometer inserted into the oil registers 180 degrees F, about 5 minutes. Strain the oil into a heatproof container.
  • For the spicy tomato sauce: Heat a large nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the tomatoes and chile with 2 teaspoons of the chili oil and sprinkle with the salt. Grill until charred and softened, 4 minutes per side. Transfer the tomatoes to a bowl. Coarsely chop the chile, then add to the bowl with the tomatoes.
  • For the pasta: Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the lobster tails and cook until the shells turn red and the meat is opaque, 4 minutes. Transfer the tails to a cutting board. Continue to boil the water and add the linguine. Cook until the pasta has begun to soften but is still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 6 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water.
  • While the pasta is cooking, prepare the seafood. Gently cut through the top of the lobster shells using scissors to remove the tail meat, then slice each tail in half lengthwise. Transfer to a large bowl and add the shrimp. Drizzle over 1 1/2 tablespoons of the chili oil and 1 teaspoon salt and toss to coat.
  • Heat a large nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the lobster tails and shrimp until cooked through, 4 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to a large bowl. Chop the lobster into 2-inch pieces and combine with the shrimp.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the chili oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the spicy tomato sauce and white wine and bring to a boil. Add the clams and cook, covered, until they open, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Add the pasta and reserved cooking water to the pan along with the Parmesan and toss to coat. Stir in the parsley, butter, lemon zest and salt and black pepper to taste. Add in the shrimp and lobster and drizzle with the remaining chili oil.

CHEF JOHN'S SHRIMP FRA DIAVOLO



Chef John's Shrimp Fra Diavolo image

This recipe features the devilishly delicious shrimp fra diavolo, or 'shrimp brother devil' if we are being literal for comic effect. It's really good and turns any pile of pasta or rice into a memorable meal. Some people like to add a little lemon, but I don't think it needs it unless your wine is too sweet.
