Ingredients

Shrimp and Pasta

8 ounces dry spaghetti
1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 clove minced garlic

Sauce

⅓ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup heavy cream
⅓ cup sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Sauce

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together ⅓ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup heavy cream, ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce, and ¼ teaspoon salt until combined. Set aside.

Shrimp and Pasta

Cook 8 ounces dry spaghetti according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, season 1 pound large shrimp with 1 teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 clove minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook until it turns pink, about 4-6 minutes. Don’t overcook the shrimp, or they will be chewy. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
Return to the same skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the sauce and heat for 1 minute, whisking continuously.
Add the cooked shrimp and pasta and toss to coat in the sauce.

Notes

Storage & Reheating Instructions

Fridge: Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for 1-3 days.
Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the microwave or over the stove until warmed through. I like to add a splash of cream to help add moisture to the pasta as it heats.
Freezer: Not recommended.
Make ahead: Best served fresh.
