|
Recipe: Shrimp Fra Diavolo |
|
This dish symbolizes everything that Valentine's Day is all about. The
red sauce is the color associated with love, pasta is the perfect comfort
food, hot peppers spice things up a bit, and the shrimp and wine add a
touch of class. Even the name hints at sin (Diavolo translates to Devil). |
2 Tbls. vegetable oil OR olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
red chili peppers (see Notes, below)
1/2 cup dry white wine
28 oz. can petite diced tomatoes
8 oz. can tomato sauce
2 tsp.
dried parsley flakes
2 tsp.
dried basil
1 tsp.
dried oregano
1 Lb. uncooked, peeled, deveined shrimp
salt and
pepper, to taste
1 Lb. linguine OR angel hair pasta |
|
♥ Begin heating salted water in a large pot for
pasta.
♥ Pour the oil into a large skillet over medium heat; add the garlic
and crushed peppers; cook, stirring often, until the garlic is soft
and lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes.
♥ Add wine to the pan and allow to simmer for 30 seconds before
adding tomatoes and herbs. Bring to a simmer while stirring
occasionally.
♥ Begin cooking pasta in the salted water per directions on package.
♥ Stir shrimp into the skillet and cook, stirring often, for 3
minutes.
♥ Remove 1 cup of the pasta's cooking water and set aside. Drain the
pasta and stir it into the sauce, along with about 1/2 of the
reserved pasta water (tongs work best for this). Continue
tossing/stirring until the shrimp are pink all the way through. Add
more pasta water as needed if the mixture is too dry.
♥ Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper, if necessary. |
Notes: You can use any dried red chili pepper, but the type you
select will determine the heat level. For a milder pasta, use 1 tsp.
Red Pepper Flakes. Using 1 or 2 crushed
Chile De Arbol Peppers will make a medium-spiced sauce. For a
lot of heat, we recommend 8 to 10
Pequin
Chile Peppers, crushed.
