Bang Bang Shrimp with pasta... Creamy, sweet and spicy! This is an easy weeknight meal to make in just about 20 minutes.

If you've ever had Bonefish Grill's Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer, you're gonna love this version!


Ingredients -
- 8 oz of your favorite pasta. (spaghetti, fettuccine, or angel hair would work best)
- 1lb. fresh Gulf shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 tbsp. garlic, chopped and devided
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1 lime, zested then juiced (aprox 2 tbsp. juice)
Sauce -
- 1/2 c Mayonnaise
- 1/4 c Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1 tsp Sriracha
- 2 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional but recommended)

Directions -
- Start by cleaning the shrimp. (check out my Shrimp and grits video for directions on how to clean the shrimp :-)
- In a large pot of boiling water, drop 8 oz of spaghetti to boil until al dente.
- Whisk together sauce ingredients and set aside.
- In a large skillet on med-high, add olive oil and saute garlic until fragrant. Be careful not to burn.
- Sprinkle shrimp with S&P and the smoked paprika.
- Add shrimp to skillet, seasoned side down. Then sprinkle other side with s&p and the smoked paprika.
- Cook 1-2 min per side. You are looking for a nice browning but not cooking all the way through. (it will finish cooking with the pasta and sauce.) Remove and set aside.
- Check on that pasta! Drain and set aside.
- Lower pan to medium heat and add lime juice to scrape up all the bits of fond from the pan. Yuuumm
- Add the sauce to the pot and stir to combine. Let cook for 3-4 min until bubbly.
- Add pasta to pan and toss pasta until coated in the sauce.
- Add shrimp back into the pan and cook 1-2 min until well combined. The shrimp will finish cooking.
- Time to plate! Top with lime zest and enjoy!

***Pro tip - keep your shrimp shells and freeze them. Once you have enough shells, you can make a shrimp stock with it. Just keep adding to a large zip top bag until it's full!
