Print Recipe

Shrimp, chili sauce, and pasta combine in a spicy, creamy dish for quick and vibrant dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 340–450 g thin spaghetti, angel hair, or gluten-free pasta
  • 680 g medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 120 ml mayonnaise or light mayonnaise
  • 120 ml Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 30 ml lime juice
  • 0.5 g crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly and reserve.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente according to package instructions, then drain well.
  3. In a separate bowl, toss peeled and deveined shrimp with paprika, minced garlic, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté seasoned shrimp, stirring constantly, until pink and just cooked through, approximately 6–8 minutes depending on size.
  5. In a large serving bowl, add cooked pasta, sautéed shrimp, and prepared sauce. Toss thoroughly to coat. Adjust seasoning to taste. Garnish with dried parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Tossing the shrimp with paprika and garlic enhances their flavor; avoid overcooking for the best texture.
