Tomorrow I am heading to sunny Arizona to visit this guy.
My grandpa will be 98 this year! He still drives, has a little girlfriend and eats bacon and eggs for breakfast every morning.
I hope I have those genes!!

The recipe has garlic, wine, onion, shrimp, tomatoes – how can you go wrong? Those Italians sure know how to make good food!
This delicious Italian dish is easy to make and so flavorful. Make sure to use good quality tomatoes.
Shrimp Fra Diavolo
Adapted from Make it Naked originally from Giada De Laurentiis
1lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined (I used 16-20s)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper, divided
1½ Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup dry white wine
3-4 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2-3 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Parmesan cheese for topping
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, toss the shrimp with the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper. Add shrimp to skillet and cook until almost completely done. About 3-5 minutes depending on shrimp size.
2. Transfer the almost cooked shrimp to a plate. In the same skillet add the onion. Saute about 5 minutes.
3. Add the tomatoes and their juices, wine, garlic, oregano and the 1/2 teaspoon of crushed pepper. Simmer for 7-10 minutes to let the sauce thicken.
4. Return the shrimp to the pan and let cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped basil.
5. Serve warm over whole wheat pasta or with a baguette (not included in nutritional info) and top with Parmesan cheese. Serves 4.
Taste Test: Wow – this was absolutely delicious and simple! Sub the shrimp out to make it vegetarian or add any other fish or chicken if you don’t have shrimp. But I think the shrimp makes this dish. Summer garden tomatoes would be delicious in this dish but I used San Marzano tomatoes. This also heated up well the next day. This is definitely going on my to make again list – simply delicious!!
