    Shrimp Fra Diavolo

    1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined

    1 teaspoon salt, plus additional as needed

    1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes

    3 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons

    1 medium onion, sliced

    1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes

    1 cup dry white wine

    3 garlic cloves, chopped

    1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

    3 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves

    3 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves

    Toss the shrimp in a medium bowl with 1 teaspoon of salt and red pepper flakes. Heat the 3 tablespoons oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and saute for about a minute, toss, and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a large plate; set aside. Add the onion to the same skillet, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the pan, if necessary, and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juices, wine, garlic, and oregano. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Return the shrimp and any accumulated juices to the tomato mixture; toss to coat, and cook for about a minute so the flavors meld together. Stir in the parsley and basil. Season with more salt, to taste, and serve.

    Shrimp Scampi over Linguine

    1 pound linguini

    4 tablespoons butter

    4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

    2 shallots, finely diced

    2 cloves garlic, minced

    Pinch red pepper flakes, optional

    1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

    1/2 cup dry white wine

    Juice of 1 lemon

    1/4 cup finely chopped parsley leaves

    For the pasta, put a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When it has come to the boil, add a couple of tablespoons of salt and the linguini. Stir to make sure the pasta separates; cover. When the water returns to a boil, cook for about 6 to 8 minutes or until the pasta is not quite done. Drain the pasta.

    Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute the shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) until the shallots are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add them to the pan and cook until they have turned pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan; set aside and keep warm. Add wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil. When the butter has melted, return the shrimp to the pan along with the parsley and cooked pasta. Stir well and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over a bit more olive oil and serve immediately.

    A sauce made with soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice and pineapples, green bell pepper, black pepper.
