{{ :recipes:shrim_fra_diavolo.jpg?direct&200|}} ====== Shrimp Fra Diavolo ====== /* Description */ Ideally shrimp fra diavolo is a lively and piquant dish, with tangy tomatoes countering briny, plump shrimp, and pepper flakes and garlic providing a spirited kick. But too often the seared shrimp are overcooked and chewy, and the spice obliterates all the other flavors, leaving the dish hot but disappointingly one-dimensional. In this version, we boost the flavor of the sauce by first browning the shrimp shells and using them to make stock. This stock forms the basis of our sauce, in which we poach our shrimp, leaving them plump and succulent. In honor of the dish’s “devilish” reputation, we add a bit more heat in the form of minced pepperoncini peppers. Generous amounts of chopped parsley and basil contribute freshness, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil provides a fruity, peppery finish. {(rater>id=100|name=Shrimp Fra Diavolo|type=rate|headline=off)} |**Preheat:** °|**Yield:** 4 servings|| |**Prep:** 0:15|**Wait:** 0:00|**Cook:** 0:25| ====== Ingredients ====== * 1.5 pounds of shrimp (size 26-30) * 1/2 teaspoon salt * 3 tablespoons vegetable oil * 1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes (in juice) * 1 cup dry white wine * 4 mince garlic cloves * 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes * 1/2 teaspoon oregano * 2 minced anchovies * 1/4 cup chopped parsley * 1/4 cup chopped basil * 1.5 teaspoon mince pepperocini * 1.5 teaspoon pepperocini brine * 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil ====== Directions ====== - Deshell shrimp shells (place aside) and place shrimps in separate bowl. - Add salt to shrimp and mix.
