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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your Fra Diavolo will be. This is especially true for the shrimp and spinach.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality pasta: The pasta is an important part of this dish, so it's worth using a good quality pasta. Look for a pasta that is made with durum wheat and has a good texture.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spiciness: The amount of crushed red pepper flakes you use will determine the spiciness of your Fra Diavolo. If you like your food spicy, you can add more crushed red pepper flakes. If you're not sure how spicy you want it, start with a small amount and add more to taste.

Conclusion:

Spinach and Shrimp Fra Diavolo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor from the shrimp, spinach, and crushed red pepper flakes. The creamy tomato sauce is the perfect complement to the shrimp and spinach. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
