Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces angel-hair pasta
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 tablespoons paprika (I used smoked paprika)
- 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons plain 0% Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Thai Kitchen sweet red chili sauce
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sriacha sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (I used 1 teaspoon)
- 3 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
- While the pasta is boiling combine the cornstarch, paprika, chili powder, salt and pepper. Add the shrimp, seal and shake a few times to evenly coat the shrimp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sweet chili sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the sesame oil, lime juice, sriacha and pepper flakes. Pour the sauce over the pasta and toss to evenly coat the pasta. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 3-5 minutes until the shrimp are pink, turning occasionally.
- Serve the shrimp over the pasta and garnish with green onions.
Notes
My husband likes his pasta “saucy” so I doubled the amount of sauce to go on the pasta and it worked great! Obviously to keep the calories lower make the recipe as-is.
