Bang Bang Shrimp and Pasta

I have cooked frozen shrimp can I use them in Bang Bang Shrimp.

Loved the recipe for the Bang Bang Pasta with Shrimp, until I read the sodium count, fat count, way too much for me! But sure looks scrumptious for sure!

Ingredients

• 1 TBSP dried parsley
• 3 tsp paprika
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 3/4 - 1 lb thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta or gluten free pasta
• 1 1/2 lbs medium shrimp peeled and deveined
• 1 TBSP coconut oil
• 3 cloves garlic minced

Sauce

• 2 TBSP of lime juice
• 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise or light mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce

Instructions

1. 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.)
2. In a large pot of boiling water, cook the pasta and drain well.
3. Place the uncooked shrimp in a medium sized bowl and add the paprika, 3 cloves of garlic, pepper
4. Heat the coconut oil on medium high heat and add the coated uncooked shrimp. Stir constantly while cooking until pink for approx. 7- 10 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and set aside if pasta is not ready
6. In a large serving bowl, combine the pasta, shrimp and sauce mixture and toss.
7. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
