Steps:
- Toss the shrimp in a medium bowl with 1 teaspoon of salt and red pepper flakes. Heat the 3 tablespoons oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and saute for about a minute, toss, and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a large plate; set aside. Add the onion to the same skillet, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the pan, if necessary, and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juices, wine, garlic, and oregano. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Return the shrimp and any accumulated juices to the tomato mixture; toss to coat, and cook for about a minute so the flavors meld together. Stir in the parsley and basil. Season with more salt, to taste, and serve.
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.

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:

- Add anchovies and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with a teaspoon of salt and about 2 teaspoons of crushed red pepper flakes. (If you like "heat", use more - but remember! a little goes a long way.) Allow the shrimp to sit in the refrigerator about 1/2 hour to absorb the spice.
- 2. In a large, heavy pan, over medium-high flame, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- 3. Add the shrimp and saute (both sides) until translucent - about 2 minutes.
- 4. Remove the shrimp to the large bowl and set aside. Add a little olive oil to pan, let it heat up, and then add onion and saute until translucent - about 2 minutes.
- 5. Add the tomatoes and juice, wine, garlic and basil, and simmer about 10 minutes to thicken.
- 6. Return the shrimp (and its juices) to the pan and make sure to coat the shrimp, simmer about 5 minutes. Serve with pasta (angel hair or thin spaghetti is best).
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use homemade shrimp stock instead of water.
- If you don't have white wine, you can substitute dry vermouth or even chicken broth.
- Use fresh, not frozen, seafood for the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the shrimp. Work in batches if necessary.
- Add the shrimp back to the sauce at the very end of cooking to prevent overcooking.
- Serve shrimp fra diavolo over pasta, rice, or polenta.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Shrimp fra diavolo is a classic Italian-American dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. It is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that can be on the table in under 30 minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and delicious seafood dinner, give shrimp fra diavolo a try!
