- 1 cup roasted red peppers
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup parsley
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 5 garlic cloves

Instructions
- Brown the linguica in a skillet over medium heat.
- Remove the linguica from the pan. Add the shrimp, cooking for 1 minute per side until just turning pink.

- Add the onions, hearts of palm and browned linguica. Top with the shrimp.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of burrata over the top of each flatbread pizza.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve with extra chimichurri sauce on the side for crust dipping.
Red Pepper Chimichurri:
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until a sauce forms. Add additional salt to taste if necessary.
Notes
- Make the chimichurri in advance to save some time. Store it in the fridge for up to 5 days in a covered container.
- Substitute naan for the pita bread.
- Substitute marinated (rinsed) artichoke hearts for the hearts of palm if you can't get them.
- Add more or less burrata depending on how much cheese you like.
