Shrimp Fra diavolo
Shrimp fra diavolo is a classic Italian-American creation, a "brother devil" style, where shrimp is simmered in a garlicky, spicy tomato sauce. This dish can be served as an appetizer with grilled bread or it can be spooned over spaghetti. I used half a teaspoon of red pepper flakes here, but feel free to kick up the spices if you like.
Ingredients (serves 4): 1 lb (450g) shrimps (about 40 to the pound), peeled and deveined - 2 tbsp olive oil - 4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced - ½ onion, finely diced - 1 cup dry white wine - 1 can diced tomatoes, drained - ½ tsp (or more) red pepper flakes - 2 tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped - Salt and freshly ground black pepper - 4 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped - 1 lb (450g) linguine
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook, turning once, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add garlic and onion to skillet and cook until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add canned tomatoes and wine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Add parsley, basil, red pepper flakes, pasta water, and shrimp to skillet and toss well.
Divide the pasta equally among four plates and spoon one-quarter of the shrimp and tomato sauce over each plate. Garnish with the parsley.
Crevettes fra diavolo
Ingrédients (4 personnes): 450 g de crevettes (environ 40 crevettes), pelées et déveinées - 2 càs d'huile d'olive - 4 gousses d'ail, pelées et finement hachées - ½ oignon, finement haché - 20 cl de vin blanc sec - 1 boîte de tomates concassées, égouttée - ½ càc (ou plus) de piment d'Espelette - 2 càs de basilic haché - sel et poivre - 4 càs de persil haché - 450 g de linguine
Faites chauffer l'huile dans une grande poêle à feu moyen. Ajoutez les crevettes et faites cuire, en les retournant une fois, jusqu'à ce qu'elles soient cuites, environ 3 minutes de chaque côté. Transférez-les dans une assiette et réservez. Ajoutez l'ail et l'oignon dans la poêle et faites cuire 3 à 5 minutes. Ajoutez les tomates concassées et le vin. Assaisonnez selon votre goût avec le sel et le poivre.
Pendant ce temps, faites cuire les pâtes dans une grande casserole d'eau bouillante salée. Égouttez et réservez 1/4 tasse de l'eau de cuisson des pâtes. Ajoutez le persil, le basilic, l'eau de cuisson, le piment et les crevettes dans la poêle et mélangez.

Répartissez les pâtes en parts égales dans quatre assiettes et nappez d'un quart de la sauce aux crevettes sur chaque assiette. Garnissez avec le persil.
Spicy heat and shrimp go hand in hand as sweetness of the seafood are a wonderful contrast to the chillis.
