Pasta is life! There are thousands of recipes, each tastier than the last, from the simplest to the most original to vary the pleasures. But today, we’re presenting you a version muy caliente that will make you blush with deliciousness! For this colorful and flavorful plate, we’re betting on the shrimp and chorizo combo, a marriage of aromas absolutely irresistible. Ultra-creamy, easy and quick, these pastas will woo everyone gathered at the table.
They are ideal for a family weekday meal, for hosting friends, or even for a romantic dinner. If you don’t have fettuccine, don’t panic. You can still make this recipe with another type of pasta, but we do recommend long pastas that will cling nicely to this creamy sauce to perfection. As for the chorizo, choose mild or hot according to your preferences. You can even add a bit of chili if you like it well spiced! And even though Italians are against parmesan in seafood pasta, you can of course sprinkle a little on your plate for even more creaminess and indulgence… So, are you ready to treat yourself? We’re already craving it 🤤
