Ingredients

  • ½ (16 ounce) package dry fettuccine pasta

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • ¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce

  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • ½ pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • ¼ cup dry white wine

  • ½ lime, juiced

  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

  2. While pasta is cooking, whisk mayonnaise, chili sauce, cream, garlic, Sriracha sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.

  3. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp, wine, and lime juice. Cook and stir until shrimp begin to change color, 3 to 4 minutes.

  4. Drain fettuccine; add up to 2 tablespoons of pasta water to the shrimp. Stir in the mayonnaise mixture and red pepper flakes. Add the cooked fettuccine; stir to coat with sauce. Divide pasta between serving bowls.

Cook's Notes:

Use fettuccini, spaghetti, linguini--whatever you like!

You can also adjust the heat to your taste buds. If you don't like it too hot, then leave out the red pepper flakes.
