Spicy shrimp fra diavolo in a flavorful tomato sauce with white wine and herbs, perfect over pasta in Chef John's popular recipe.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound extra large shrimp (16-20), peeled and deveined, tail left on
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 pinch Aleppo pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 0.5 yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1.5 cups canned crushed tomatoes (such as San Marzano)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
Instructions:
  • Toss shrimp with olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and Aleppo pepper flakes until evenly coated.
  • Preheat a large skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Cook the shrimp in a single layer until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp and cook until the other side is browned, for about 1 minute. Transfer the shrimp to a clean bowl.
  • In the same skillet, sauté onions with a pinch of salt until slightly golden, about 2-4 minutes. Stir in garlic and oregano until fragrant, about 15-30 seconds. Deglaze with white wine, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon until it comes to a boil.
  • Stir in crushed tomatoes and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook and stir until the tomato mixture thickens and flavors meld, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp back to the skillet along with any juices. Heat until the shrimp are warmed through, about 2 to 4 minutes. Mix in parsley and basil, then season with salt, red pepper flakes, and Aleppo pepper flakes.
