Shrimp and Linguine Fra Diavolo combines succulent shrimp with al dente pasta tossed in a garlicky, spicy tomato sauce.
Ingredients
For the shrimp
▢1 1/2 pounds extra large shrimp U26 or larger
▢1 teaspoon paprika optional, used just for color
▢1/4 cup olive oil divided
▢1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
▢1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
▢1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Remaining ingredients
▢1 pound linguine
▢1/4 cup olive oil
▢3 anchovy fillets
▢8 cloves garlic sliced
▢1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or to taste
▢1/2 cup dry white wine
▢1 28-ounce can plum tomatoes hand crushed or blender pulsed
▢1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
▢3 tablespoons brandy optional
▢1/4 cup flat-leaf Italian parsley minced
▢2 cups pasta water will most likely not need all of it
▢salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
For the shrimp
Place the shrimp, baking soda, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, paprika, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a large bowl and mix well to coat. Set aside for at least 10 minutes before sautéing.
Heat a large pan to medium-high heat with the remaining olive oil. Once shimmering add the shrimp (work in batches if necessary to not overcrowd) and cook for 60-90 seconds per side or until almost cooked. Place the seared shrimp on a plate and tent with foil.
Finishing the dish
Bring a large pot of salted water (2 tablespoons kosher salt per gallon of water) to boil.
Using the same pan as the shrimp, heat it to medium and add a 1/4 cup of olive oil along with the garlic and anchovies. Mash the anchovies with a spoon to help them dissolve. Once the garlic is golden (about 2-3 minutes) add the crushed red pepper flakes and cook for another 30 seconds.
Add the white wine and turn the heat to high. With a wooden spoon, scrape the bottom of the pan to dislodge any browned bits. One the wine reduces by half add the crushed plum tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, turn the heat down to medium-low. Add the oregano and season with a touch of salt and pepper to taste if needed.
Boil the pasta and cook it to 1 minute less than al dente, making sure to reserve the pasta water. A few minutes before tha pasta is done, add the brandy.
Next add the pasta and shrimp to the pan and toss or mix to coat.
If the pasta is too dry, add more of the reserved pasta water. Once the pasta is al dente, remove the pan from the heat and taste the sauce. Season with salt and pepper if required, and the parsley, then serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
Increase or decrease hot red pepper flakes to taste.
Always reserve extra pasta water just in case the pasta dries out while sitting and or waiting to serve.
Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave. Though, I recommend eating all the shrimp on the same day. Shrimp do not reheat too well.
