Shrimp and Chourico Linguine

I did a good job not wasting food this week. I decided to use the rest of the chourico I didn't use for the stuffed chicken. This was a super easy and super quick recipe, but I would definitely change it next time.

This recipe calls for 3 large tomatoes to be chopped and added to some garlic and chourico and sauteed and simmered to make a sauce....it doesn't really make a sauce. I recommend using some canned crushed tomatoes to add to the chourico and garlic so you have an actual sauce. Nonetheless, it was yummy, but we added a lot of olive oil to make it not as dry.

Shrimp and Chourico Linguine
from Cooking in Sens

1/2 lb chourico, coarsely chopped
3 tbsp olive oil
3 large cloves garlic, chopped
3 large tomatoes, seeded and coarsely chopped (Use canned crushed tomatoes here)
Salt and pepper
Crushed red pepper
1 lb shrimp
1/2 lb fresh linguini, cooked and drained
2 tbsp chopped parsley
2 tbsp chopped chives

1. Saute the chourico in the oil for 3 minutes, add the garlic and saute for a further minute or two.
2. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and crushed red, bring to a boil, then simmer for 8 minutes.
3. Add the shrimp and cook for 3 minutes.
4. Add the linguini and toss to coat with the sauce.  Add the parsley and chives, then serve immediately.

Serve over pasta.
