Pimiento Picante Shrimp Linguine
a dinner recipe
HI I'm Alex Bala- a self-taught home chef and food photographer with a passion for creating delicious, heartwarming meals. Every dish I make is made with love, inspired by family, friends, and the joy of sharing good food.
The Kitchen is my love and food is my love language. I want everyone who sits at my table to leave with a full belly and a happy heart. And trust me, there’s no holding back here—I’m all about bold flavors, rich ingredients, and, of course, plenty of butter and flavor!
Succulent shrimp are seasoned with zesty lemon, crushed garlic, and smoky pimiento picante, then seared to perfection. Tossed with tender linguine in a creamy tomato and pepper-spiced sauce, this dish is finished with a sprinkle of Romano cheese and fresh parsley for the perfect fusion of comfort and kick.
