HCG Approved Recipes: Shrimp or Lobster Fra Diavolo

Shrimp or Lobster Fra Diavolo

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, or lobster
1 teaspoon salt, plus additional as needed
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
1 medium onion, sliced
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup & 3 tbsp low sodium chicken broth
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
3 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
3 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves

• Toss the shrimp in a medium bowl with 1 teaspoon of salt and red pepper flakes.
• Heat the 3 tablespoons broth in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the shrimp and saute for about a minute, toss, and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Transfer the shrimp to a large plate; set aside.
• Add the onion to the same skillet, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the pan, if necessary, and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes with their juices, remaining broth, garlic, and oregano. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Return the shrimp and any accumulated juices to the tomato mixture; toss to coat, and cook for about a minute so the flavors meld together.
• Stir in the parsley and basil.
• Season with more salt, to taste, and serve.
