Shrimp fra diavolo recipe

Shrimp fra diavolo recipe is a delicious Italian dish made with large juicy shrimp cooked in a hearty, spicy tomato sauce with garlic, white wine and Italian herbs.

This spicy shrimp recipe is ready in 20 minutes, making it an easy weeknight. But also fancy enough for date night or Saturday dinners with friends.

About this Shrimp Fra diavolo recipe

Unlike regular spaghetti sauce , fra Diavolo sauce is spicy. How spicy depends on your taste. It’s also thicker and more concentrated. And although its loaded with flavor the ingredients are simple.

Unlike Arrabiata sauce , which is also spicy, fra Diavolo sauce never includes basil or capers, and is usually paired with shrimp.

I like to serve this with crusty Italian bread to sop up all the delicious sauce, or pasta for a complete satisfying meal.
