    Shrimp Fra Diavolo –

    Making a delicious dinner shouldn’t be rocket science and shouldn’t take all day to make. When time permits I cook my own sauce, but when time is short I turn to products I know and trust and Barilla is definitely one of the brands I depend on. Many thanks to my friends at Barilla for sponsoring this post.

    Check out the deliciousness I created in the time it took to cook the pasta! Shrimp Fra Diavolo is a restaurant-style dish that you can create in your own kitchen in less time than it would take to pick up take-out at a fraction of the cost. All of a sudden a weeknight meal after a busy day just became a special occasion.

      I have been eyeing this recipe since it came in my email a while back. My only regret is not trying it sooner. Wow! What an absolutely wonderful dish! I recommend that you do not omit the red wine as it adds lovely depth and richness to the sauce. I dialled back the Chili and Pepperoncini to suit my palate and I am pleased that I hit just the right amount for us. It’s interesting that the combination of the Pepperoncini and the crushed Chili peppers creates a different and more complex type of heat dimension than you would get if you were using only one of those ingredients.
      Thank you Chef Dennis! I look forward to trying even more of your wonderful recipes!
