Diablo Shrimp

Dinner 🍽️Lunch 🥪 Italian 🇮🇹 High-Protein 💪Comfort-FoodPescatarian 🐟

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.

Diablo Shrimp
  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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. 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.

  4. 4

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