"Ci shrimp fra diavolo" is a classic Italian-American dish that combines shrimp, a spicy tomato sauce, and fresh herbs to create a seafood feast. The dish is said to have originated in the coastal regions of Italy, where fresh seafood and tomatoes are abundant. The name "fra diavolo" literally translates to "brother devil" in Italian, referring to the spicy nature of the dish. Many variations of the recipe exist, but the common elements are succulent shrimp, a flavorful tomato sauce bursting with spice, and often the inclusion of bell peppers, onions, and fresh herbs like basil and oregano.

CHEF JOHN'S SHRIMP FRA DIAVOLO
This recipe features the devilishly delicious shrimp fra diavolo, or 'shrimp brother devil' if we are being literal for comic effect. It's really good and turns any pile of pasta or rice into a memorable meal. Some people like to add a little lemon, but I don't think it needs it unless your wine is too sweet.

Steps:
- Combine shrimp, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and Aleppo pepper flakes in a bowl; toss to coat shrimp completely in oil and spices.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot. Cook shrimp in a single layer until browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn shrimp and cook until browned on the other side, about 1 minute more. Transfer shrimp to a bowl.
- Heat the same skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion with a pinch of salt in hot skillet until onions are slightly golden and just becoming translucent; 2 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and oregano to onion; cook and stir until fragrant, 15 to 30 seconds.
- Pour white wine into onions and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; add crushed tomatoes and lower heat to medium-low. Cook and stir until tomato mixture thickens and flavors blend, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Return shrimp to skillet along with any accumulated juices in the bowl. Cook until shrimp are reheated, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir parsley and basil into sauce and season with salt, red pepper flakes, and Aleppo pepper flakes.

CI SHRIMP FRA DIAVOLO
Entered for safe-keeping, as shrimp fra diavolo is one of my favorite dishes. This was published in the January/February 2014 Cook's Illustrated magazine. It's different from the other recipes posted on this site for its recommendation to brown the shrimp shells with the juice from the canned tomatoes, then de-glazing with dry white wine. Don't omit the anchovy fillets; they give a "je ne sais quoi" depth to the sauce, but they won't overwhelm you. Serve with a salad and crusty bread or over spaghetti.

Steps:
- Peel and devein shrimp; RESERVE SHRIMP SHELLS for Step 3. Check the ingredients listing on the shrimp bag. If shrimp have been treated with salt, go directly to Step 2. Otherwise, toss shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt and set aside until Step 11.
- Pour tomatoes into a colander set over a large bowl. Release the tomato juice from the tomatoes by piercing the tomatoes with the edge of a rubber spatula. Stir briefly to release juice. Transfer drained tomatoes to small bowl, until Step 9. RESERVE TOMATO JUICE for Step 5. DO NOT WASH COLANDER.
- In 12-inch skillet over high heat, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil until shimmering. Add shrimp shells and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to turn spotty brown and skillet starts to brown, 2-4 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and carefully add wine.
- When bubbling subsides, return skillet to heat and simmer until wine is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 2-4 minutes.
- Add reserved tomato juice from Step 2 and simmer to meld flavors, 5 minutes.
- Pour contents of skillet into colander set over bowl. Discard shells and RESERVE LIQUID for Step 10. Wipe out skillet with paper towels.
- Over medium heat in now-empty skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, garlic, pepper flakes and oregano. (If shrimp had been treated with salt when packaged, now add 1/4 teaspoon salt. If you tossed shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon of salt in Step 1, do not add more salt now.) Stir occasionally, until garlic is straw-colored and fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
- Add anchovies and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Remove skillet from heat. Add drained tomatoes from Step 2 and mash with potato masher until coarsely pureed.
- Return skillet to heat and stir in reserved tomato juice from Step 6. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer until mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Add shrimp to skillet and simmer gently, stirring and turning shrimp frequently, until they are just cooked through, 4-5 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat. Stir in basil, parsley, and pepperoncini and pepperoncini juice and season with salt to taste.
- Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve.

Steps:
- Pat the shrimp dry and season with kosher salt and 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet. Add the shrimp and cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute over medium heat. Transfer the shrimp and its juices to a plate for now. (If the shrimp is still grey in some parts it is okay, it will finish cooking in the sauce).
- In the same skillet, heat another 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over medium-high until shimmering. Reduce the heat to medium then add the onions and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes over medium heat, tossing regularly, until the onions have softened and turned a light golden brown (manage your heat to make sure the garlic does not burn). Add the white wine and cook until reduced by half.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, the oregano, and the remaining red pepper flakes. Bring to boil, then lower the heat to medium low and allow the sauce to simmer for 10 minutes or so until thickened.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet and nestle it into the sauce. Cook for 1 more minute or until the shrimp is just warmed through and pink. Finish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite crusty bread, pasta, or rice.
