I'm not sure this will be an AR15 hit, but I thought I'd share tonight's dinner with you. I had a hankering for shrimp and decided to make Shrimp "fra diavolo" ( Literal Italian translation "brother devil"). It's a fiery hot meal with lots of garlic. Very tasty indeed .

The ingredients are few and simple:

1 lb of shrimp peeled (deveined if preffered)
1 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper minimum
Olive oil
1/4 cup of Cognac
12 medium cloves of garlic minced or pressed
1/2 tea sugar
28 oz can of diced tomatos drained
1 cup of sauvignon blanc
1/4 cup of minced parsley
1 lb of linguine or spaghetti

toss shrimp in a bowl with the red pepper, some salt and 3 tbs of olive oil
add shrimp to hot skillet and cook about 1 minute. remove skillet from heat and pour in cognac. return pan to high heast and light cognac. shake skillet until flames die out and set shrimp in a bowl and set aside.
Let skillet coool a bit and add 3 tbs of olive oil to skillet  and saute garlic until if foams abnd just starts to change color.
Add some salt, sugar, tomatos and wine and cook until thicked. Stir in reserved mshrimp and juices and parsley and cook until shrimp is heated. Do not over cook the shrimp.

Toss with al dente pasta and serve.



The shrimp is flambeed





Here is the final product






Ohh and waiting for crumbs that never came was Nikko
