Ingredients

• 600g large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 350g linguine, dry
• 1 can (800g) crushed tomatoes
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1.5 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to heat preference)
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp sea salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cup pasta cooking water (reserved)
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook linguine until al dente. Reserve 0.5 cup pasta water before draining.
2. Pat shrimp dry and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
3. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1.5-2 minutes per side until pink. Remove and set aside. Do not overcook.
4. Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the same skillet. Add diced onion and cook for 4 minutes until softened.
5. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
6. Pour in white wine and cook for 2 minutes until mostly evaporated.
7. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir and simmer for 12 minutes until sauce thickens.
8. Add drained linguine to the sauce and toss to coat, adding pasta water as needed.
9. Nestle cooked shrimp into the pasta and sauce. Toss gently and heat for 1 minute.
10. Serve immediately, topped with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.

Tips & Variations

• Do not overcook the shrimp; they continue cooking when added back to the hot sauce.
• For extra spice, add a whole dried chili pepper to the oil when cooking the garlic.
• A splash of vodka in place of white wine is the traditional fra diavolo choice for depth.
• Add fresh clams or mussels with the shrimp for a richer seafood version.
• Use gluten-free pasta to make this a gluten-free option.
