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.
