SHRIMP & LINGUINE FRA DIAVOLO
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.

ZIPPY SUMMER SHRIMP
My favorite way to dazzle in a hurry, these shrimp take minutes to make. Full of flavor, they take the center stage at any meal, but I am also known to throw them in a fresh garden salad as well. I do tend to always use the largest shrimp I can get my hands on, they seem to have the best flavor to them! Once complete, feel free to serve immediately over pasta, with warm crusty bread and a garden salad, or with a rice dish. This one compliments them all!

Tips:
- Select the right shrimp: Choose large, juicy shrimp for the best flavor and texture. Fresh or frozen shrimp can be used, but if using frozen, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the shrimp until it is just pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality oil that has a fruity, flavorful taste.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly.
- Add the lemon juice at the end: Lemon juice is a bright, acidic flavor that helps to balance the richness of the shrimp and sauce. Add the lemon juice at the end of cooking to prevent it from becoming bitter.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the shrimp is still hot and the sauce is still flavorful.
