This Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta has the most scrumptious creamy sauce that is ready in about 20 minutes.
Ingredients
¾ – 1 lb thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta or gluten free pasta
1 ½ lbs medium shrimp peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon coconut oil
3 cloves garlic minced
3 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon dried parsley
freshly ground black pepper to taste

½ cup mayonnaise or light mayonnaise
½ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoon of lime juice
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Mix the sauce ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.(You can warm this if you desire but it warmed up nicely for me when mixed with the hot pasta.)
In a large pot of boiling water, cook the pasta and drain well.
Place the uncooked shrimp in a medium sized bowl and add the paprika, 3 cloves of garlic, pepper
Heat the coconut oil on medium high heat and add the coated uncooked shrimp. Stir constantly while cooking until pink for approx. 6-8+ minutes. (depending on the size of the shrimp)
Remove from heat and set aside if pasta is not ready
In a large serving bowl, combine the pasta, shrimp and sauce mixture and toss.
Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
