Step 1

Heat the oil in a large pan to medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon chili flakes, then cook them for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and cooked through. Set them aside.

Step 2

Add the onion and red pepper to the same pan. Cook them down for 5 minutes to soften.

Step 3

Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until you can smell that gorgeous garlic.

Step 4

Add the crushed tomatoes with their juices, red chili flakes, white wine, oregano and salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5

Simmer for 10 minutes (or longer) to let the flavor develop. You can prepare your pasta noodles while the fra diavolo sauce is simmering.

Step 6

Stir in the reserved shrimp and heat them through about a minute.

Step 7

Stir in the parsley and basil leaves. Taste and adjust for salt.

Step 8

Toss with prepared linguine noodles. Garnish and serve!
