Shrimp Diablo

So I was watching Cooking Channel, Fresh Food Fast with Emeril Lagase, the other day and he made a really simple pasta dish that inspired me to create a twist to call it my own. I actually made this for dinner last night and Trent absolutely loved it. It's so easy to make and takes only like 10 mins at the most.


Angel Hair Pasta
2T chopped garlic
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
1 can crushed tomatoes or can of diced tomatoes
1 T Siracha Sauce
1 lb Shrimp, Peeled and deveined


So this is how you do it, start by cooking angel hair pasta according to the package instructions. Enough for two people. Simultaneously, in a large skillet, heat about 2 T of Olive Oil to a medium high heat. Add the garlic and onions. Saute for 5 mins until onions are soft. Be sure not to burn the garlic!! Add the Red Pepper Flakes along with the tomatoes and siracha sauce. Cook for 10 minutes. If sauce is getting to thick, add just a little water or seafood stock to thin it back out to the consistency of a sauce. Add the shrimp in the sauce and turn off the heat. It only takes 2 minutes for shrimp to cook. At that time also add the pasta and coat in the sauce. Serve with sprinkles of fresh chopped parsley for color and flavor. Delicioso!!!

This meal will be a little spicy, hints the name, Shrimp Diablo, but anyone can enjoy this by using less of the crushed rep pepper flakes and the siracha sauce. :) Eat up!!

P.S. Today I am 23 weeks into my pregnancy. I'm feeling great and more and more excited to meet my little bundle of joy :)
