Summer Linguine with Shrimp (or Langostinos)
Langostino is the Spanish word for prawn…there are several types of prawns…saltwater prawns are part of the lobster family…freshwater prawns are more similar to shrimp and look like a cross between a lobster and a shrimp. You can find these frozen at Costco and are an excellent substitute for shrimp.We love using our Milanese Gremolata or Lemon EVOO to add a citrus splash to this recipe. Primo Harissa Olive Oil will add more of a “heat/spicy” flavor.
