What is Shrimp Fra Diavolo
Shrimp Fra Diavolo is a spicy Italian-American seafood dish. The name “Fra Diavolo” translates to “Brother Devil” in Italian, which gives an idea of the fiery spiciness of this dish. It typically consists of sautéed shrimp in a spicy tomato Fra Diavolo sauce, served over a bed of pasta. You can adjust the heat to your taste.
How To Make
To make my Shrimp Fra Diavolo, you’ll need a large skillet and a few key ingredients, including fresh shrimp, canned crushed tomatoes, fresh garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, capers and basil or parsley. The dish is typically served over spaghetti, but I like to use linguine, or fettuccine, use any other type of pasta you prefer.
Variations
Spice: One of the great things about this dish is that it’s easy to customize to your personal taste preferences. If you like your food extra spicy, you can add more red chili flakes to the tomato mixture. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of spice or omit it altogether. Shrimp: You can also experiment with different types of seafood, such as scallops, lobster, mussels or clams. Herbs: I use fresh basil because my husband loves it but you can also use fresh parsley or fresh oregano. Pasta: I used linguini but you can use spaghetti, bow ties, or any pasta shape you like. You can use wheat or gluten-free. Low Carb Options: If you want to enjoy this as a low-carb meal, serve it over spaghetti squash or a bowl of roasted vegetables.
