Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 1 can crushed tomatoes (28-ounce can)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 pound cooked spaghetti or linguine
Instructions
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until just pink and slightly undercooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Return the shrimp to the skillet along with any juices that accumulated on the plate. Gently stir to coat the shrimp in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are fully cooked through.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped basil and optional parsley.
Serve the Shrimp Fra Diavolo over cooked spaghetti or linguine, garnished with extra fresh basil if desired. Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
