Yesterday Joey doesn’t tell me it’s his birthday (like I would be able to spank him 24 times) but he does tell me he has a hankering for lobster diavolo. Once described I grab some lobsters and head back to the homestead. I figured if I said “honey, I’m making lobster diavolo”, I could chop up the lobsters but by the time I get to throwing them in the dutch oven someone would take charge. But it was all, “that’s great I’ll just have a glass of red wine and not even watch.”
Yikes, I gotta do it all by myself? A search of GMG and I have the recipe. Basil, parsley and the hot dried red peppers out of the garden. If I do say so myself, it came out pretty tasty.

Good Morning Gloucester 
I assume that this is the same as Lobster Fra Diavolo?

If no one picked the nits we would all be speaking Tower of Babel speak in no time. When I did a search for diavolo it was about two thirds with a fra and one third without. I figured the shortened form was OK. But Fra Diavolo was a real person, an insurrectionist in Naples agains the invading French. When he was a kid he was a hell raiser and so the nickname Fra Diavolo or “brother devil”.
Not sure how it got stuck to this dish but the chili peppers married to a red lobster does bring to mind a devilish bro. “Bro” shortened form of brother, “Fra” the shortened form of fratello, Italian for brother.
