To make this shrimp diablo, you'll need some medium-sized, peeled and deveined shrimp, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, olive oil, onion, linguine, diced tomatoes, dry white wine, lemon, garlic, dried oregano, fresh basil, and fresh Italian parsley.
First, you'll want to add the shrimp, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes to a bowl and toss to coat the shrimp. Then, heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the shrimp. Cook and stir until the shrimp is cooked through, and then transfer them to a plate and set aside.
Next, add some more olive oil to the same skillet and cook the onion until translucent. Then, add some lemon, diced tomatoes, wine, garlic, and oregano. Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes to thicken.
While the sauce simmers, cook the linguine in a large pot according to the package instructions. Once done, reserve a cup of the pasta water, drain the linguine, and add it to the skillet with the tomato mixture. Toss everything together and add the shrimp back in. Finally, stir in some fresh basil and Italian parsley, and you're ready to serve.
There are a few tips to keep in mind when making this dish. Try to time the pasta so that it finishes cooking when the sauce finishes simmering. If you're using large shrimp, it's recommended to cut them in half. And for the tomatoes, you can use crushed or whole tomatoes that you crush in the skillet yourself.
If you want to add an extra kick of spice, feel free to add more crushed red pepper flakes to taste. And don't worry about using extra-virgin olive oil, as any kind of olive oil will work for this recipe.
In just 30 minutes, you can have a restaurant-quality shrimpdiablo dish ready to enjoy. So why wait? Head to the kitchen and give this recipe a try tonight. Your taste buds will thank you for it!
