EASY SHRIMP FRA DIAVOLO

Steps:

• Place shrimp in a resealable container or zip-top bag. Add red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and salt; toss together. Seal and let marinate for 1 hour.
• Pulse vine tomatoes in a blender until smooth.
• Melt butter in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add marinated shrimp and increase heat to medium. Cook and stir until slightly browned on the outsides but not cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove shrimp and set aside.
• Add a splash of white wine to the frying pan and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom using a wooden spoon. Pour in olive oil. Add onion to the hot oil and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in remaining wine and cook until reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add the pureed tomatoes, plum tomatoes, basil, parsley, and oregano to the sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring frequently, until flavors combine, about 25 minutes. Toss shrimp back into the pan and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes more.

SHRIMP FRA DIAVOLO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, then add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook, turning halfway through, until the shrimp are curled and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a bowl.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the garlic and Fresno pepper to the skillet; cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Add the oregano and cook until softened. Add the tomatoes and 1 cup water and bring to a simmer. Cook until the tomatoes burst and the sauce is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
• Add the shrimp, pasta and 1/2 cup cooking water to the sauce. Cook, tossing, until the shrimp are hot and the pasta is coated, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the basil.
• Divide the pasta and shrimp among bowls. Sprinkle with more oregano and drizzle with olive oil.
