Shrimp Fra Diavolo
(Adapted from Giada De Laurentiis)
1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus additional as needed
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil plus 1 to 2 teaspoons
1/2 medium onion, sliced
7 ounces diced tomatoes
1/2 cup dry white wine
Dash dried oregano
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
Toss the shrimp in a medium bowl with 1 teaspoon of salt and red pepper flakes. Heat the 2 teaspoons oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and saute for about a minute, toss, and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a large plate; set aside.
Add the onion to the same skillet, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the pan, if necessary, and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juices, wine, and oregano. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Return the shrimp and any accumulated juices to the tomato mixture; toss to coat, and cook for about a minute so the flavors meld together. Stir in the parsley and basil. Season with more salt, to taste, and serve.
I love simple dishes like this -- where the flavors come from just a few quality ingredients like basil, white wine and tomatoes. I'm craving something like that too after all my hearty weekend eating. Including two incredibly decadent chocolate oat bars I consumed after lunch today... (more on that later too!)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read about the cheesecake! :)
Esi, How're you doing? I haven't talked to you in a while. I Like your shrimp dish, but I LOVE your waffles and chicken even better. I once made cormeal pancakes with jalapenos and people thought I'd gone nuts. So experimenting with foods like we do isn't so crazy after all. Like minds... Thank you for visiting and for these wonderful recipes.
ReplyDeletemmm I had some shrimp tonight too! Its so light and lovely :)Cheesecake? mmmmm
ReplyDeleteDiana - I can't wait to hear about the chocolate bars. I am trying to help my friend find a suitable replacement for Kit Kat.
ReplyDeleteTeresa - I am well thanks!! I am all about experimenting lately so you may be seeing more of that soon.
Erica - the cheesecake is insane. I can't get enough.
This was the first dish I made out of my Giada cookbook. It's been a standby ever since. Yours looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI just made a version of this last night for dinner! This one looks great, and maybe even easier than the one I made!
ReplyDeleteI love the chicken and waffles below! I know my sister would love this shrimp recipe.
