Ingredients

Scale

¾1 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 teaspoons 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 tablespoons 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, and pepper.
  • Heat the coconut oil on medium-high heat and add the coated uncooked shrimp. Stir constantly while cooking until pink, approximately 6-8+ minutes (depending on the size of the shrimp).
  • Remove from heat and set aside if the pasta is not ready.
  • In a large serving bowl, combine the pasta, shrimp, and sauce mixture and toss.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
