The fancy name given to this risotto, fra diavolo, is a bow to its seasonings of garlic, tomatoes, oregano and hot red-pepper flakes. These ingredients are common to lobster fra diavolo, a wonderful old-fashioned Italian-American recipe whose origins are murky. Today, shrimp is often used in place of lobster because it is less expensive. But the seasonings are good with any seafood.

This is not a typical New Orleans dish, but I like anything with shrimp in it and sometimes I want an alternative to shrimp scampi and other traditional shrimp pasta recipes. This is a very simple recipe with great flavor, you can do ahead of time – you can also saute onions in butter/olive oil with a little white wine – cooked down – added to ingredients. Serves 2.
