Linguini and Shrimp Fra Diavolo
Description
This recipe begins by cooking linguini in salted boiling water until al dente, then preparing a sauce by sautéing garlic, shrimp, celery, and onions in olive oil. The shrimp are seared briefly before setting aside to prevent overcooking. Crushed tomatoes and crushed red pepper are added to the sautéed aromatics, then simmered to concentrate flavors and reduce the sauce slightly.
Once the sauce sets, the shrimp return to the pan to finish cooking, and capers are added for a briny accent. Freshly sliced basil tops the finished dish, adding herbal brightness. The pasta is served with the sauce and shrimp pooled over it, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. Parmesan cheese is optional on the side.
This dish balances the sweetness of shrimp with a peppery tomato sauce for a satisfying seafood pasta. It is a flavorful main course that pairs well with a simple salad or crusty bread.
