Diablo Shrimp
Diablo Shrimp pairs tender angel hair with juicy shrimp in a butter and olive oil sauce infused with jalapeño heat and red pepper flakes. White wine brightens the pan sauce while capers add a briny pop, and a dusting of Parmesan rounds it out. It’s a bold, spicy dinner that shines on busy weeknights yet feels special enough for company.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the angel hair at a rolling boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still slightly firm, 4 to 5 minutes; drain.

While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the olive oil, jalapeno pepper, and red pepper flakes; cook until the pepper flavors infuse into the butter mixture, about 10 minutes. Remove and discard the jalapeno slices if you like; leaving them in will make the dish very hot.
- 3
Stir the white wine into the butter mixture; cook for another 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and capers. Increase the heat to medium; cook and stir the shrimp until bright pink on the outside and no longer translucent in the center, about 5 minutes.

Add the drained pasta to the shrimp mixture; toss to coat. Top with Parmesan cheese to serve.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
