Description

In this shrimp recipe, spicy chili crisp sauce adds tang to this noodle stir fry that is rife with the aromas of garlic, ginger, and shallots.

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon chili crisp oil sauce
1 teaspoon gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large shallot, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
6 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, occasionally stirring, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, mix shrimp with salt and baking soda; let sit for 15 minutes.
3 Combine mayonnaise, soy sauce, chili crisp, gochujang, and sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside.
4 Drain spaghetti. Rinse shrimp with cool water and pat dry with paper towels.
5 Warm oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Cook and stir shallot, garlic, and ginger for 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook until bright pink and opaque, 4 to 5 minutes. Add scallions and cook for 1 minute longer.
6 Pour chili crisp sauce over shrimp. Mix in cooked spaghetti and toss until evenly coated.
