Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces spaghetti noodles
  • 10 ounces medium shrimp, thawed, peeled, and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • ¾ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha (optional)
  • Sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.

  6. Place the hot cooked pasta into a large serving bowl. Pour the prepared mayo sauce over the pasta and toss well to evenly coat all the noodles.
  7. Top the sauced pasta with the cooked shrimp, distributing them evenly.
  8. Sprinkle sliced green onions or fresh chopped parsley over the top to add a fresh, vibrant finish.
