Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Shrimp Fra Diavolo.
Step 1
Begin by placing the shrimp in a resealable container or zip-top bag, then sprinkle in red pepper flakes, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and season with salt.
Step 2
Toss everything together to ensure the shrimp are well-coated, seal the bag, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for one hour.
Step 3
While the shrimp absorbs those zesty flavors, blend vine-ripe tomatoes in a blender until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Step 4
In a frying pan over medium-low heat, melt a generous pat of butter.
Step 5
Once melted, add the marinated shrimp and raise the heat to medium.
Step 6
Cook the shrimp, stirring occasionally, until they develop a light golden hue on the outside, which should take about one and a half minutes.
Step 7
Remove the shrimp from the pan and set them aside.
Step 8
Next, deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any delicious browned bits stuck to the bottom.
Step 9
Add a splash of olive oil, then toss in the chopped onion.
Step 10
Sauté until the onion turns translucent, which should take around five minutes.
Step 11
Stir in minced garlic and let it cook for an additional thirty seconds to release its aromatic goodness.
Step 12
Pour in the remaining white wine and allow it to simmer until reduced by half, approximately six to eight minutes.
Step 13
Now, add the pureed tomatoes, chopped plum tomatoes, dried basil, parsley, and oregano to the mix.
Step 14
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer, stirring frequently for about twenty-five minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 15
Finally, return the shrimp to the pan and cook until they are heated through, which should take about five more minutes.
Step 16
Enjoy the delightful aroma and savor the rich flavors of this shrimp dish that’s sure to impress!.
