Shrimp Fra Diavolo

This is so good and so easy to make.  It is elegant enough to serve to company!  You can make it very spicy, or sweet depending on your taste.  To make this you will need:

1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined

1 teaspoon salt, plus additional as needed

 up to 1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons

1 medium onion, sliced

 1 large green pepper, seeded and cut into small strips

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

 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce

1 cup red wine

3 garlic cloves, chopped

1/4 teaspoon fresh or dried oregano leaves

3 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves

3 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves

 Pasta

1.)  In a bowl, mix the shrimp with the salt and the crushed red pepper flakes.  You can control the heat of dish here.  I tend to go for the full teaspoon because I like it spicy.  Heat the olive oil in a large fry pan over medium heat.  Add the shrimp and cook for one minute or so on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink, and remove to a bowl.

2.)  If necessary add some oil.  Add the onion and green pepper.  Saute until translucent (about 5 minutes) then add the wine and let it reduce into the peppers and onions for a minute or two.  Add the tomatoes with their juices, tomato sauce,  garlic, and oregano. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly and reduces, about 10 minutes.  Boil you choice of pasta as per the package instructions.

3.)  Add the herbs and the shrimp.  Let it cook for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to incorporate.
