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.
