How to Make Gia Shrimp Fra Diavolo

  1. In a medium bowl, toss 1 pound of shrimp with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  2. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add shrimp and sauté for 1 minute, then toss and continue cooking until pink and cooked through, about 1-2 minutes more.
  4. Transfer shrimp to a plate and set aside.
  5. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the same skillet along with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes with their juices, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup dry white wine, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and stir to combine.
  7. Simmer until sauce has slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
  8. Return the shrimp to the tomato mixture, toss to coat, and cook for about 1 minute to meld flavors.
  9. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil. Season with additional salt to taste.
  10. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta (we recommend spaghetti with olive oil, parmesan, and seasoning) and enjoy with a green salad.
