Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 1 can crushed tomatoes (28-ounce can)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1 pound cooked spaghetti or linguine

Directions

Step 1

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until just pink and slightly undercooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Return the shrimp to the skillet along with any juices that accumulated on the plate. Gently stir to coat the shrimp in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are fully cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped basil and optional parsley.

Step 9

Serve the Shrimp Fra Diavolo over cooked spaghetti or linguine, garnished with extra fresh basil if desired. Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
