Shrimp Fra Diavolo was sponsored by Bertolli. All opinions are my own.
Bring a touch of Tuscany to the table with Shrimp Fra Diavolo. Fra Diavolo means “Brother Devil” in Italian because the sauce is spicy. If you don’t like spice, just leave the crushed red pepper out, or don’t use as much.
With a name like Shrimp Fra Diavolo, you’re probably thinking hard, time-consuming, etc. Who has time for that? Not me!
Thanks to Bertolli® Five Cheese Sauce, my date-night meal is done in less than 20 minutes! That means more time for romance!

Simple Tuscany Tablescape Ideas
To bring Tuscany to my table, I ordered a bag of wine corks (very inexpensive) and bought some fresh hydrangeas (my fave flower) from the grocery store. Colorful placemats and DIY place card holders complete the Tuscan look.
Easy Hydrangea Centerpiece
To recreate this look, you’ll need a skinny, tall vase inside a larger one. Fill the skinny vase with water and add the hydrangeas. Place the corks between the skinny vase and the larger one.
Don’t tell anyone, but the hydrangeas weren’t quite full enough for me, so I added some faux Allium and other faux flowers I had to make the bouquet just right. Yes, you can mix real and fake together!
Easy Cork Placecards
Use an X-Acto knife to make a slit in the top of the cork and inserted little craft tags. A cork on its side has a tendency to roll over so make the slit in the top and not the side of the cork. It works for me.
This took mere seconds to complete.
Let’s Make Shrimp Fra Diavolo
Once the tablescape is complete, it’s time to make the Shrimp Fra Diavolo. Bertoli saves me so much time and effort and I’m intrigued by the story of how Bertoli was started.
Here’s the story I fell in love with: “It’s been more than 150 years since Francesco Bertolli began selling his olive oil in the small town of Lucca, Italy. In 1865, Francesco opened a small storefront business selling regional foods such as olive oil, wine, cheese, and olives.
In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants in America, unable to find the products to which they were accustomed, wrote to Bertolli asking for crates of olive oil. Bertolli sent orders to America and thus became the first exporter of olive oil.
From its beginnings in olive oil, Bertolli today has grown to also include a broad range of Italian-inspired pasta sauce and skillet meals.
Today, more than 150 years since Francesco Bertolli began selling his olive oil in Lucca, Italy, the original “Villa Bertolli” at piazza S. Donato still stands – just as Bertolli remains at the heart of the Italian-inspired cuisine enjoyed at home by millions of families around the world.”
