1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp sweet chili sauce

Method

Step 1: Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Once done, drain it and set aside.
Step 2: While the pasta is cooking, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a bowl. Set this sauce mixture aside for later.
Step 3: Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Dredge each shrimp in panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Step 4: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5: Add the breaded shrimp to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 6: Once the shrimp are cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Toss the cooked pasta with the shrimp and the sauce mixture until everything is well coated.
Step 7: Garnish with sliced green onions and fresh herbs, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce.
