Shrimp fra diavolo for 2. (brother of the devil)
Toss together:
1/2 lb shrimp peeled and deveined + a few
1/2 - 1 tsp red pepper flakes
pinch - 1/2 tsp salt
Saute in 1 - 2 tbs olive oil till cooked 2 - 3 minuets, remove to a plate, keep large wooden spoon handy. Also more olive oil just in case.
Saute small or 1/2 large onion sliced or diced in pan. Threaten roomie with wooden spoon as she snarfs shrimps.
Add:
3 - 6 garlic cloves diced, pressed, or smashed
1/4 tsp dry oregano or Italian seasoning
Keep careful watch on roomie and shrimps
After a minuet or two add:
1/2 can tomatoes crushed or chopped, fire roasted if fancy, OR 1 can Ro-tell with green chilies. (Ro-tell has hotter flavors if you like but they get away from an Italian flavor profiles.)
1/2 cup dry white wine (optional) Red will do in a pinch. Heck, pasta water will do. You are making spaghetti or linguini aren't you?
Remind roomie that shrimps
are needed for the dinner.
Cook 10 - 15 mins, return all unsnarfed shrimp with any juices to pan, stir, add pasta, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if you like, serve.
Should be simple enough for even Panta.
