Description

This simple shrimp pasta dish with just the right balance of sweet and heat is a must-try if you love the flavor of bang bang sauce.

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti, broken in half
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
1/4 cup lime juice
2 teaspoons Sriracha
1 tablespoon butter
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons chopped scallions

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2 Meanwhile, whisk mayonnaise, chili sauce, lime juice, and Sriracha together in a bowl.
3 Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 more minute. Add cooked spaghetti and mayonnaise-chili sauce; toss to combine. Cook until sauce is hot, about 2 minutes. Turn heat off and let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
4 Divide among serving plates and garnish with chopped scallion.
