Ingredients

  • 8 ounces spaghetti or linguine pasta
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup Thai or sweet chili sauce
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 12 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, cook pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. While pasta cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and sriracha in a bowl.
  3. Toss shrimp with garlic, paprika, salt, and onion powder until evenly coated.
  4. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the oil and cook the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until just opaque.
  5. Stir in the prepared sauce and simmer until it thickens slightly.
  6. Toss in the cooked pasta until everything is well coated, then serve garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Swap shrimp with chicken, tofu, or beef for variety.
  • Use any pasta shape such as penne, fettuccine, or linguine.
  • Add veggies like bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli for extra nutrition.
  • Adjust spice level by modifying the amount of sriracha or chili sauce.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; avoid freezing.
