Photo: Shrimp and Linguine Fra Diavolo Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound linguine
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup small diced onion
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 to 3 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 cups canned tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails removed
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus more for pasta water
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, optional
Directions
Bring a large 1-gallon pot of salted water to a boil, and place the pasta in the pot. Cook for 5 minutes and then drain; pasta will be only partially cooked. As the pasta cooks, set a 14-inch saute pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onions to the pan and cook until lightly caramelized and wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the red pepper flakes and saute briefly before adding the tomato sauce and tomato paste. Cook the sauce until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add the partially cooked pasta to the pan along with 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and continue to cook the pasta in the sauce until al dente, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the pasta with the salt and garnish with the parsley. Toss to combine and serve with grated Parmesan, if desired.

LOVE this dish! I didn't give it 5 stars because it's VERY spicy if you follow the recipe as written. I only use 1.5 tsp of red pepper flakes and it's still great. It's a super simple recipe that you don't need to buy 50 million ingredients to make. Wonderful flavor! Thanks Emeril!

As good, if not better, than you get in restaurants. I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes though I like tomato sauce recipes, ketchup, etc., just not tomato chunks. So this was perfect as it didn't have chunks and wasn't too saucy. Thanks as always Emeril!

I wasn't sure that I would enjoy this because the recipe seemed too "simple" to have much flavor. Boy was I wrong!!! My husband loves fra diavolo but he is sometimes disappointed when ordering it at a restaurant. Lots of people do not know what spicy is and he likes his spicy. I did double most of the recipe except the pasta, shrimp and red pepper because I like my pasta with lots of sauce. I chose to use the entire 3 tsp of red pepper and I felt it was just right and so did my husband, who said this recipe is better than most of the fra diavolo he has eaten over the years. It was super easy to make as well!!! I will definitely be making this again!!!
