SHRIMP FRA DIABLO

Shrimp Fra Diablo image

A thick, spicy sauce of garlic, olive oil, and fire-roasted tomatoes is sauteed with shrimp or your favorite seafood. Legend has it that it was named for Michele Pezza, also known as 'Fra Diablo' (Friar Devil), who helped push Napoleon's forces out of Naples. Serve the sauce over hot pasta, or, my favorite, hot couscous cooked with olive oil and garlic.

Not really sure where this came from. I used monkfish instead of scallops. This was the result. PS--monkfish tastes a lot like lobster.

Tips:

Use good quality shrimp for the best flavor. Fresh or frozen shrimp can be used, but make sure they are deveined and peeled.
If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Use a large skillet or pot to cook the shrimp. This will help to prevent them from overcrowding and sticking to each other.
Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat. This will help to sear them and lock in the flavor.
Do not overcook the shrimp or they will become tough. Cook them just until they are pink and opaque.
Add the sauce to the shrimp and simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
