Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chili sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, pepper sauce, and red pepper. Mix well and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt.
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente (usually 8-10 minutes).
- Drain the pasta and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Season the shrimp with paprika, a dash of salt, and black pepper.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque but not overcooked.
- Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked pasta to the skillet.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the pasta and toss to coat evenly.
- Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet and gently mix everything together.
- Allow the mixture to heat through for about 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve the Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen shrimp, make sure they are completely thawed and patted dry before cooking.
- Cook the pasta until it is al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly when mixed with the sauce.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper and pepper sauce to suit your taste preference. If you prefer less spice, reduce these ingredients accordingly.
- Make sure to cook the garlic just until fragrant to avoid burning and imparting a bitter taste to the dish.
- Garnish the finished dish with freshly chopped parsley for an added burst of freshness and color.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise.
Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta offers a delectable blend of flavors that is both satisfying and memorable. The combination of the creamy sauce with the spicy shrimp is truly irresistible. Serve this dish with a side salad or some garlic bread for a complete meal that will have everyone coming back for seconds.
