A creamy, slightly spicy pasta dish featuring perfectly cooked shrimp tossed in a tangy sauce, ready in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients

8 ounces spaghetti or linguine pasta

¾ cup mayonnaise

⅓ cup sweet chili sauce

2 limes, juiced

2 tablespoons sriracha

12 ounces medium shrimp, deveined and peeled

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon vegetable oil or olive oil

1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Cook the pasta to al dente, according to the instructions on the package. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and sriracha. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with the garlic, paprika, salt, and onion powder to combine.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are nearly opaque.
  5. Stir in the prepared sauce and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the sauce starts to simmer and thicken.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to combine everything well. Serve immediately with freshly minced parsley if desired.

Notes

  • To make the dish spicier, increase the sriracha or add red pepper flakes.
  • For a gluten-free option, swap the pasta for a gluten-free variety.
  • Leftover pasta can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
