Shrimp Diavolo
Shrimp Diavolo
Seafood is common to Italian cuisine, which is no surprise considering its geographical relationship with the Mediterranean.
Cippollinis are small, flat onions. The flesh is more yellow than white and the flavor is sweet thanks to having more residual sugar than larger white and yellows but not as much as shallots. I found them at Crescent Market.
Be sure to use fresh shrimp. The frozen stuff will disappoint you. As always, serve with good, crusty bread. Pinot grigio pairs well.
