23 minFra diavolo means “brother devil” in Italian, and this fiery tomato sauce earns every bit of that name.
Garlic and red pepper flakes bloom in olive oil, then plum tomatoes in puree hit the pan and simmer into a bold, spicy sauce. Shrimp go in for just two minutes until they curl up pink and tender, then everything gets tossed with hot pasta.
Seven ingredients, less than 25 minutes, and a plate that packs serious heat.
Pro Tips
- Crush the red pepper flakes between your fingers before adding them to release more of their oils and heat
- Use linguine or spaghetti for the most authentic fra diavolo presentation
- Don’t overcook the shrimp; they only need about 2 minutes in the sauce and will continue cooking from residual heat when tossed with hot pasta
- A splash of the pasta cooking water helps the sauce cling to every strand
