How to make Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta

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

Sauce

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.
