Want to have your bang bang shrimp without mayo?

A good alternative to have Bang Bang shrimp without mayonnaise is to use Plain Greek Yogurt instead of the mayo. Super easy and totally tasty!

Use any type of your favorite pasta, and this dish is typically made with spaghetti noodles, but we like to use angel hair for a really quick dinner.

How To Make Bang Bang Shrimp

  1. Cook pasta according to boxed directions.
  2. Drain and rinse, coat with a bit of olive oil (if desired). Set aside.
  3. Whisk or stir together sauce ingredients: mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, 1 tsp portion of minced garlic, lime juice, sriracha, honey and crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  4. Bring a large skillet or frying pan to medium high heat, add the olive oil, second 1/2 Tbsp portion of minced garlic, and the shrimp.
  5. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then paprika.
  6. Cook the shrimp until pink, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Remove the shrimp to a plate, set aside.
  8. Add the sauce to your skillet or frying pan and cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir the sauce in the pan, picking up all of the pan drippings and flavor of the cooked shrimp.
  9. Add the cooked pasta, toss to coat evenly with the sauce then add the shrimp and toss as well.
  10. Garnish with lime zest, Parmesan cheese, additional crushed red pepper flakes, or sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Enjoy!
