What Is Shrimp Fra Diavolo?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fra Diavolo<\/em>, or Diablo<\/em>, is Italian for \u201cbrother devil.\u201d But don\u2019t be alarmed! This tomato-based pasta sauce is only as spicy as you make it. Traditionally, it packs heat from fresh and dried chile peppers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Instant Pot Shrimp Fra Diavolo<\/strong> recipe calls for just 2 teaspoons of crushed red pepper flakes. (And you\u2019re welcome to use more or less, depending on your preferences.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of lots of chile peppers, this pasta sauce gets its signature red color and deep umami flavor from canned diced tomatoes and tomato paste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Shrimp Diavolo Healthy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Paleo recipes are grain-free and high in protein. <\/strong>This pasta recipe is packed with protein, thanks to the shrimp. It also calls for brown rice pasta instead of white wheat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brown rice pasta contains more fiber than white pasta, and it\u2019s naturally gluten-free. It also doesn\u2019t taste much different from the noodles you might be more familiar with.<\/strong> So give it a try, you might love this healthier take on a pasta dinner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve also included instructions to serve Instant Pot Shrimp Fra Diavolo<\/strong> sauce over spaghetti squash and zucchini noodles, for a low-carb version of this already healthy dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Shrimp Fra Diavolo over Penne in an Instant Pot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This Shrimp Fra Diavolo over Penne recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like all of the recipes in Karen\u2019s new cookbook, there\u2019s no need to thaw the shrimp before making this Instant Pot Shrimp Fra Diavolo<\/strong>. The shrimp, sauce, and pasta all cook together in the pressure cooking pot, making clean up easier than ever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe starts by building a flavorful Italian red sauce with onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and frozen shrimp. Then add the gluten-free penne pasta and water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\uded1 Do NOT stir the pasta after adding it, just gently press to ensure that all of the pasta is fully submerged in water. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seal the pressure cooker and set it to cook on low pressure<\/strong> for 5 minutes. (This is one of the very few recipes we cook on low pressure.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After releasing the pressure, test one of the noodles, and if it still has some bite to it, turn the pressure cooker to Saut\u00e9 to cook the sauce a bit longer, until your pasta is perfectly al dente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Kind of Shrimp Is Best for Instant Pot Fra Diavolo over Penne?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are so many different kinds of frozen shrimp you can buy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe calls for large, raw shrimp that are peeled and deveined. <\/strong>The larger size helps keep the shrimp from getting overcooked in the pressure cooker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s also why it\u2019s important to cook Instant Pot Shrimp Fra Diavolo<\/strong> under low pressure. Shrimp cook quickly and can turn rubbery fast, so use low pressure to give you more control over the texture of your shrimp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
