(TIP: Use kitchen shears to prep bacon with ease!)Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. While the pan heats, line a plate with paper towels. When the pan is hot, add bacon. Cook, flipping occasionally, until crispy, 5-7 min.\*\* Remove from heat. Use tongs to transfer bacon to the paper towel-lined plate. Carefully drain and discard bacon fat, then wipe pan clean.

Meanwhile, halve tomatoes. Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges. Cut 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter into small pieces. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Reheat the same pan (from step 1) over medium. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter, then tomatoes, tomato sauce base, remaining garlic puree and 1/2 tsp chili flakes. (NOTE: Reference heat guide.)

When sauce is almost done, add linguine to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-3 min. When linguine is tender, reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water, then drain and return linguine to the same pot, off heat. Add sauce and half the reserved pasta water to the pot with linguine. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add more reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired.)

When shrimp are done, add lemon zest and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice to the baking dish. Toss to coat. Divide linguine between plates. Top with salmon, shrimp and drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the baking dish over top. Crumble bacon over top. Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
