OOOH! Do share the shrimp fra diavlo recipe!!!

Re: What's a good thing to cook tonight?

I got it out of my 'Cook This, Not That' cookbook...DH LOVES it!

¾ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (I used peeled and deveined frozen shrimp that was pre-cooked – just defrosted them in the morning)
Salt and black Pepper to taste
½ tbsp olive oil
2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 small onion, chopped
2 gloves garlic, minced (I just cut them up thin – I got lazy)
½ tsp dried oregano or thyme
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 cup dry white wine
8 oz spaghetti
2 Tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley

Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. I seasoned one side, then flipped them and seasoned the other side. Heat the oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes on each side, until just firm. Remove to a plate (cover to keep warm).

Add the pepper flakes, onion, garlic, and oregano to the pan; cook until the onions are soft. Add the tomatoes and wine and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and return to the pot.

Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Fold the cooked shrimp into the sauce. Pour the pasta and toss. Serve garnished with the parsley.
