Spicy Garlic Shrimp Fra Diavolo

This classic Italian-American dish gets a bold twist with our Spicy Garlic Spread, adding depth and heat to the fiery tomato sauce.

Ingredients

For the Shrimp

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Sauce

• 2 tbsp Spicy Garlic Spread
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
• 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
• 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
• 1 tsp sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (plus more for garnish)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

1. Prepare the shrimp. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until pink and slightly golden. Remove and set aside.
2. Make the sauce. In the same skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the Spicy Garlic Spread and cook for 1 minute to infuse the flavors. Add the crushed tomatoes, white wine (or broth), sugar (if using), and oregano. Simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Bring it together. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat. Simmer for another 2 minutes until warmed through. Stir in fresh basil, then serve over pasta or with warm bread.
