Notes
- Use fresh ingredients: The quality of the ingredients is key to making a great Shrimp Fra Diavolo. Use fresh shrimp, canned tomatoes, and fresh herbs for the best flavor.
- Use large shrimp: Using large shrimp will give the dish a more substantial texture and flavor. If you only have small shrimp, you can use them, but the texture will be different.
- Cook the shrimp just right: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. They are done when they turn pink and slightly curled. If they're cooked too long, they will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a mix of canned and fresh tomatoes: Using a mix of canned and fresh tomatoes will give the sauce a more complex flavor. The canned tomatoes add depth, while the fresh tomatoes add brightness.
- Adjust the spiciness: Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your taste. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes. If you like it spicy, add more.
- Let the sauce simmer: Letting the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
- Serve with a crusty bread: Shrimp Fra Diavolo sauce is perfect for dipping with crusty bread. Warm up some bread and serve it on the side for a delicious and satisfying meal.
- Don't forget the finishing touches: Finish the dish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for brightness.
