Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once boiling, add the broken spaghetti and cook it, stirring occasionally, until it reaches that perfect al dente texture—this should take about 12 minutes.
Step 3
Once done, drain the spaghetti and set it aside, letting it rest while you prepare the delicious sauce.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, fresh lime juice, and a dash of Sriracha.
Step 5
Whisk these ingredients together until they’re beautifully blended and creamy.
Step 6
Now, grab a large soup pot and melt some butter over medium-high heat.
Step 7
When the butter is bubbling, toss in the shrimp and let them cook for about 5 minutes, or until they turn a lovely pink and opaque color.
Step 8
Add minced garlic to the pot and sauté for another minute, allowing the fragrant aroma to fill your kitchen.
Step 9
Next, gently fold the cooked spaghetti into the pot along with your sauce mixture.
Step 10
Toss everything together, ensuring the pasta is well-coated and the sauce is warmed through—this should take about 2 minutes.
Step 11
Once everything is combined, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Step 12
This little pause allows the sauce to thicken just right.
Step 13
When you’re ready to serve, plate the pasta and finish it off with a sprinkle of chopped scallions for a fresh touch.
Step 14
Enjoy your delightful creation, and savor every bite!.
