Paired with linguine, this quick and easy dish is a flavorful crowd-pleaser. Perfect for dinner, itโ€™s dairy-free and packed with zesty heat.


Ingredients

For the Shrimp Fra Diavolo:

 

  • 1 lb DeLallo Linguine

  • 1 lb large raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed

  • 6 Tbsp DeLallo extra virgin olive oil, divided

  • 2 tsp kosher salt, divided, plus more for cooking pasta

  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, divided

  • 8 garlic cloves, finely chopped

  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 cup dry white wine

  • 28 oz (1 can) DeLallo Crushed Tomatoes (drained), or 1 can diced tomatoes

  • 1/2 tsp granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped (plus more for serving)

  • Lemon wedges for serving

  • Baguette (optional, for serving)

  • Flaky sea salt for serving


Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta:
    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2-3 tbsp of kosher salt and cook 1 lb of DeLallo linguine to al dente according to package directions. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water.

  • Season the Shrimp:
    Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and place in a bowl. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp kosher salt, and ยผ tsp crushed red pepper flakes.

  • Cook the Shrimp:
    Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and sautรฉ until cooked through (about 1-2 minutes on the first side and 1 minute on the second side). Transfer shrimp to a plate and lower the heat to medium.

  • Sautรฉ the Aromatics:
    Add the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil to the skillet. Add garlic, the remaining ยพ tsp crushed red pepper flakes, and oregano. Sautรฉ for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

  • Make the Fra Diavolo Sauce:
    Pour in 1 cup dry white wine and bring the heat to medium-high. Let the wine reduce for about 2 minutes. Add drained diced tomatoes and sugar. Stir and simmer for 10 minutes.

 

  • Finish the Pasta in the Skillet:
    Add the cooked pasta, shrimp (with juices), ยฝ cup reserved pasta water, and ยผ cup chopped parsley to the sauce. Toss everything together, adding more pasta water if you prefer a looser sauce. Divide among 6 bowls, then serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, more parsley, lemon wedges, and optional crusty baguette. Finish with flaky sea salt, if desired.


Notes

  • Make-ahead: Cook the shrimp and sauce separately and store for up to 3 days in the fridge. Make the pasta when ready to serve, then continue with Step 6.

  • Leftovers: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat.
