Shrimp and Calamari Diablo image

Very simple and spicy recipe that you can modify to control the heat. Just adjust the red pepper flake as desired. I used some fresh chopped mozzarella that I melted with a blowtorch because I was almost out of Pecorino Romano, and used it all during the cooking. I also used Barilla's Arrabbiata sauce for some extra flavor in place of tomato puree. Use the pasta of your liking. I wanted to use black squid ink pasta but couldn't find any in the short time I had. I went with angel hair and it was fine!

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons olive oil
5 minced garlic cloves
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes (more or less to your taste)
2 green onions, chopped
10 ounces diced pepperoni
1 cup dry white wine
20 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 squid, tubes and tentacles cut tubes into rings
1 cup tomato puree
1/2 cup fresh grated pecorino romano cheese
1 lb pasta, of your choice
4 -5 sprigs of chopped parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in non stick skillet, add garlic, green onions, red pepper flake and pepperoni, bring to simmer.
  • Turn up heat and add wine while stirring constantly. Bring to near boil.
  • Add shrimp and cook for one minute, then flip and cook for another minute. (I hate overcooked shrimp, so at this point I removed shrimp and placed in a bowl.).
  • Add squid rings and tentacles. They will cook very quickly so pay close attention. After 2 minutes return shrimp to skillet. Reduce heat to simmer.
  • Add your tomato puree. This is where you can be creative. I actually used one cup of Barilla's Arrabbiata sauce for extra kick!
  • Grate in some of the fresh Pecorino Romano cheese and stir inches Remove from heat.
  • Serve over your choice of pasta with rest of grated Pecorino Romanao and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!
