Satanic Shrimp Fra Diavolo – Cooking WIth Butler
July 19, 2010
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus additional as needed
- 1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 3 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
- 3 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
Directions
Toss the shrimp in a medium bowl with 1 teaspoon of salt and red
pepper flakes. Heat the 3 tablespoons oil in a heavy large skillet over
medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and saute for about a minute, toss,
and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer the shrimp to a large plate; set aside. Add the onion to the
same skillet, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the pan, if
necessary, and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the
tomatoes with their juices, wine, garlic, and oregano. Simmer until the
sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Return the shrimp and any
accumulated juices to the tomato mixture; toss to coat, and cook for
about a minute so the flavors meld together. Stir in the parsley and
basil. Season with more salt, to taste, and serve.

Cooking With Butler-March of The Crab Cakes
January 3, 2010
A Christmas tradition at our house is a dungenes crab feast. I always make sure I get more crab than I need so O can make crab cakes the next day. This recipe is made Louisiana style with creole seasoning and the “holy trinity”, which is onions, celery and bell peppers. So far it is the best tasting crab cakes I’ve ever had. It is better and much cheaper than you will get in even the finest restaurants. As a bonus, I show you a quick and easy caesar salad recipe. I’m getting hungry just writing this!
