shrimp fra diavolo


Posted by Picasa
this is such a fantastic, tasty, light meal.  i just love it. and, it takes no time to put it together (at least after the shrimp cleaning is done).  once you have your 1 lb. of shrimp shelled and deveined, toss with a bit of olive oil, salt, and red pepper flakes (about a teaspoon).  in a large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook the shrimp in a single layer for 1 -2 minutes per side.  remove the shrimp to a plate.  saute two diced shallots for 4 minutes.  add one 28 oz. can of diced tomatoes, one cup of white wine, 3 tablespoons of minced garlic, and cook for 5-6 minutes over medium heat.  add the shrimp back in and simmer for a minutes or so.  add 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley and basil.  salt and pepper.  you can eat this alone or with some whole wheat angel hair pasta. if you are a member of costco, they have fantastic frozen, shelled, deveined shrimp.  it's not always shrimp season!
