    Notes

    I love using fresh ingredients. They truly bring out the best in this dish.
    If you're feeling adventurous, try adding shrimp or calamari for some extra seafood goodness.
    I sometimes add a sprinkle of chili flakes for a little heat. Always customize the recipe to suit your taste! 🌶️
