Shrimp Fra Diavolo

This is a spicy, quick shrimp and pasta dish. You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit you.

1lb shrimp - I use the already cooked stuff but if you are using the raw, make sure to peel, devein and remove the tails. You will want to cook it before hand too in a little bit of olive oil.
1tsp or so of salt
1 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes
3 tbsp of olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (14.5) oz can petite diced tomatoes
1 cup dry white wine (I usually use chicken broth instead)
3 garlic cloves, chopped (I use the stuff in a jar)
1/4 tsp dried oregano leaves
spaghetti noodles
Toss the cooked shrimp with the salt and red pepper flakes, set aside. Get a big pot of water on to boil...add pasta. Heat oil and saute onion until soft, add tomato, chicken broth, garlic and oregano. Let simmer for about 10 minutes or so until it has reduced a bit. Meanwhile, drain the pasta. Add shrimp back in and stir for a few minutes until shrimp are warm....

Serve with the pasta and crusty garlic bread.

Serves about 4....
