Time 33m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

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
3 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
3 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • 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.

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.

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.

SEAFOOD FRA DIAVALO WITH CHARRED GARLIC BREAD



Seafood Fra Diavalo with Charred Garlic Bread image

Provided by Antonia Lofaso

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 33

2 whole Maine lobsters (1 1/2 to 2 pounds each)
2 tablespoons cooking olive oil
1/2 white onion, roughly chopped
1 rib celery, roughly chopped
2 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic
4 sprigs fresh parsley
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh basil
Eighteen 16-to 20-count shell-on shrimp, peeled and deveined, shells reserved
1 stick unsalted butter
1 habanero, split in half
1 tablespoon chile flakes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 tablespoons lobster base, such as Better than Bouillon
16 ounces bourbon
16 ounces dry white wine
8 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup kosher salt
Neutral cooking oil, for cooking
Six U-10 scallops (dry-packed, not frozen), cleaned
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 sprig fresh rosemary
2 bulbs fennel, sliced on a mandoline 1-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons cooking olive oil
Twelve 2-inch-thick slices ciabatta bread
1 clove garlic
1 1/2 cups good-quality finishing olive oil
Kosher salt
1/4 cup picked Italian parsley, roughly chopped
8 sprigs fresh basil, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • For the lobster: Heat a large pot of water over high heat until it comes to a boil. Quickly blanch the lobsters just long enough so the shells turn red and the meat isn't fully cooked but can be removed from the shells, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the lobsters to an ice bath to stop the meat from cooking. Separate the tails and claws from the bodies, reserving the bodies for the broth. Remove the tail and claw meat from the shells and roughly chop. Set aside until ready to use.
  • For the seafood broth: In an 8-quart Dutch oven over high heat, add the oil. Let get hot, then add the onion, celery and carrots and allow to saute and brown, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, parsley, rosemary and basil and stir to combine. Allow to bloom for 1 minute. Add the reserved lobster bodies and shrimp shells and stir to combine. Add the butter, habanero, chile flakes, tomato paste, lobster base, bourbon, white wine, chicken stock and salt and stir combine. Allow this to come to a simmer and cook until mildly thick, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Strain the broth through a wire mesh strainer into a large bowl or saucepan. Pour the broth into a blender and blend until smooth. Reserve until ready to use or keep warm in a saucepan over low heat.
  • For the seafood: Heat a 14-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/4 cup neutral cooking oil. Sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper and add to the heated oil to sear, without moving them, about 4 minutes. Flip the scallops, then add the butter and rosemary. Once the butter has melted, add the shrimp and lobster meat to fully cook the shrimp and warm the lobster through, about 4 minutes.
  • For the roasted fennel: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Spread the fennel on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with the olive oil. Roast until caramelized, about 12 minutes. Reserve until ready to plate.
  • For the garlic bread: Preheat a grill on high heat.
  • Char both sides of the bread aggressively and evenly, about 3 minutes per side. Rub each piece of grilled bread with 2 to 3 swipes of raw garlic and place on a platter. Drizzle each piece with 2 tablespoons finishing oil and season with salt. (Yes, it's a lot of oil, I know. It's good.)
  • Assemble and arrange all the seafood in the bottom of a large serving bowl or large shallow dish. Spread the roasted fennel all around and put the herbs on top. Nestle some of the garlic bread in the dish and serve the remaining on the side. Pour the broth all around the dish and serve.

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.

CI SHRIMP FRA DIAVOLO



CI Shrimp Fra Diavolo image

Entered for safe-keeping, as shrimp fra diavolo is one of my favorite dishes. This was published in the January/February 2014 Cook's Illustrated magazine. It's different from the other recipes posted on this site for its recommendation to brown the shrimp shells with the juice from the canned tomatoes, then de-glazing with dry white wine. Don't omit the anchovy fillets; they give a "je ne sais quoi" depth to the sauce, but they won't overwhelm you. Serve with a salad and crusty bread or over spaghetti.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 48m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 lbs large shrimp (26-30 count per pound, peeled and deveined, shells reserved)
1/2 teaspoon salt (if shrimp have not been treated with salt already)
1 (28 ounce) can whole canned tomatoes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for browning shrimp shells
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for browning garlic and anchovies
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2-1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt (if shrimp had been treated with salt when packaged)
2 anchovy fillets, rinsed, patted dry, and minced
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons pepperoncini peppers, minced
1 teaspoon pepperoncini juice (from pepperoncini peppers)
salt, to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Peel and devein shrimp; RESERVE SHRIMP SHELLS for Step 3. Check the ingredients listing on the shrimp bag. If shrimp have been treated with salt, go directly to Step 2. Otherwise, toss shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt and set aside until Step 11.
  • Pour tomatoes into a colander set over a large bowl. Release the tomato juice from the tomatoes by piercing the tomatoes with the edge of a rubber spatula. Stir briefly to release juice. Transfer drained tomatoes to small bowl, until Step 9. RESERVE TOMATO JUICE for Step 5. DO NOT WASH COLANDER.
  • In 12-inch skillet over high heat, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil until shimmering. Add shrimp shells and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to turn spotty brown and skillet starts to brown, 2-4 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and carefully add wine.
  • When bubbling subsides, return skillet to heat and simmer until wine is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 2-4 minutes.
  • Add reserved tomato juice from Step 2 and simmer to meld flavors, 5 minutes.
  • Pour contents of skillet into colander set over bowl. Discard shells and RESERVE LIQUID for Step 10. Wipe out skillet with paper towels.
  • Over medium heat in now-empty skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, garlic, pepper flakes and oregano. (If shrimp had been treated with salt when packaged, now add 1/4 teaspoon salt. If you tossed shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon of salt in Step 1, do not add more salt now.) Stir occasionally, until garlic is straw-colored and fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
  • Add anchovies and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Remove skillet from heat. Add drained tomatoes from Step 2 and mash with potato masher until coarsely pureed.
  • Return skillet to heat and stir in reserved tomato juice from Step 6. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer until mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add shrimp to skillet and simmer gently, stirring and turning shrimp frequently, until they are just cooked through, 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat. Stir in basil, parsley, and pepperoncini and pepperoncini juice and season with salt to taste.
  • Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Be sure to devein the shrimp before cooking. This will remove the digestive tract and make the shrimp more flavorful.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the shrimp. This will give the shrimp plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet or Dutch oven. If you do, the shrimp will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are pink and opaque. Do not overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the shrimp fra diavolo over grilled bread or pasta. You can also serve it with a side of rice or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Shrimp fra diavolo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of shrimp, tomatoes, and spices creates a flavorful and satisfying dish. Serve it with grilled bread or pasta for a complete meal.
