Shrimp Fra Diavolo with Homemade Marinara Sauce
INGREDIENTS
1-1/4 pounds shelled and deveined medium shrimp
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 ounce thickly sliced pancetta, finely diced (1/4 cup)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups homemade marinara sauce (see recipe below)
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley


Crusty bread, for serving

DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the crushed red pepper; season with salt and black pepper. Let stand for 20 minutes.
Heat a large skillet until very hot. Add the shrimp and cook over high heat until lightly browned and nearly cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet along with the pancetta, onion and garlic and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Return the shrimp and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Add the marinara sauce and simmer over moderate heat until the shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to bowls, garnish with the parsley and serve with crusty bread.
