Instructions
Creating the incredible Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta involves several simple steps. Here’s how to do it:
1. Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare Shrimp: In a medium bowl, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Set aside.
3. Coat Shrimp: Place the flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Dip each shrimp in flour, then egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
4. Fry Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the coated shrimp and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
5. Make Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayo, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, lime juice, and minced garlic. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: In the same skillet used for shrimp, combine cooked pasta and sauce. Toss well to ensure all pasta is coated and heated through.
7. Add Shrimp: Gently fold in the crispy shrimp into the pasta mixture until evenly distributed.
8. Garnish: Transfer the pasta and shrimp to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh cilantro and additional lime wedges for an extra zesty flavor.
