Notes
- Pasta Swap: Works with linguine, fettuccine, or bucatini.
- Protein Options: Substitute shrimp or scallops for langostino.
- Extra Creaminess: Add 2 tablespoon heavy cream or a pat of butter at the end.
- Heat Level: Add more red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers keep 1–2 days; reheat gently to avoid overcooking seafood.
- Wine Substitute: Use a splash of broth or pasta water if avoiding alcohol.
