Cook the Pasta:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti or linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.

Cook the Shrimp:

• While the pasta is cooking, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.

Make the Bang Bang Sauce:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your desired level of heat.

Prepare the Pasta:

• In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic-infused oil. If needed, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to help the pasta come together.

Combine the Shrimp and Sauce:

• Add the shrimp back into the skillet with the pasta. Pour the Bang Bang sauce over the pasta and shrimp, tossing everything together until evenly coated.

Garnish and Serve:

• Transfer the pasta to serving plates. Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy, creamy Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta!
