This is my easy-to-make version of Shrimp Diablo. I like a couple of things about this recipe. Number one, I finally got back into the swing of creation and improvisation. Of course that's easy at the in-laws house where the freezer and pantry are fairly well stocked. Number two, I think this recipe is good because of the easy make nature. There aren't many fresh ingredients, but that doesn't mean it ain't good.
I'm not going to make any excuse for the level of heat on this dish. It's supposed to be hot. For this particular batch, I used Marie Sharp's Habanero Hot Sauce. It totally rocked our socks off! Do not be tempted to use an entire jar of the spaghetti sauce. I used just enough to coat the shrimp and pasta.
Ingredients
- 1.5 Lbs. Pre-cooked frozen shrimp, thawed
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- 2 TBSP minced garlic
- 1/2 Tsp. Salt
- 1 Tsp. Ground Black pepper
- 3/4 Cup Premade spaghetti sauce (from the jar)
- 2 TBSP Hot Sauce, in all
- 3 TBSP Olive Oil
In a large bowl, season the shrimp with the salt, pepper, and 1 TBSP of the hot sauce. Mix in the garlic and set in the fridge to marinate.
In a large skillet, heat 3 TBSP olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender. Add the shrimp mixture and cook 3-5 minutes or until the shrimp are heated through. Add the spaghetti sauce and hot sauce, stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the sauce is simmering.
Serve over pasta.

I almost never use pre-cooked shrimp any more. By the time they are re-heated they are overcooked. It seems to me, BTW, that the 3-5 minutes is long enough to cook raw shrimp anyway.

You bring up a good point, and I would agree. However, I really consider the prep time for shrimp to be extraordinarily long. Cleaning, Shelling, deveining .... it's all very tedious and time-consuming.
What was good about this recipe was that all the ingredients were in the freezer and pantry of my in-laws already, so I didn't have to make a trip to the store to buy more shrimp.
Looks Great!! Will have to try it out.
