Spicy Thai Shrimp Pasta

This Spicy Thai Shrimp Pasta is so simple to make you just might serve it twice in one week (I know I have). The sauce comes together easily in the blender and is packed with flavor. Don’t worry about having leftovers, they reheat perfectly. See this recipe
The ingredients for Thai food dishes are mainstream now and not hard to find. Believe me, if I can pick them up in my regular grocery, here, in somewhat rural Oregon, you likely have a FANTASTIC chance of getting a hold of them too.
Chopped cilantro and green onion are the perfect addition to top off your dish. Serve with a lime wedge for an extra burst of flavor and Sweet Red Chili Sauce is a must for a final drizzle.
I hope you get to make this soon, it’s so amazing.
There are so many amazing ways to enjoy shrimp. I’m giving this Citrus Shrimp and Avocado Salad a big thumbs up. These Pineapple Teriyaki Shrimp Foil Packets sound amazing. I definitely can’t wait to make this Skillet Chipotle Shrimp dinner. Kielbasa and Shrimp Fried Rice is also on my must make list.

INGREDIENTS

• SAUCE:
• 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into large pieces
• 4 serrano peppers, stems removed, seeded and deveined*
• 3 stalks lemongrass, (outer shell removed and cut off fibrous bottom) sliced into smaller pieces
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 (3" piece) fresh ginger, peeled and cubed
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural)
• 1/4 cup fish sauce
• 1 Tablespoon chili garlic sauce
• juice of one lime
• SHRIMP:
• 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 lbs (16-20 per lb) extra large shrimp, deveined, shells and tails removed and sliced lengthwise
• 1 lb dry angel hair pasta, prepared according to package directions
• chopped cilantro and sliced green onion for garnish
• Sweet Red Chili Sauce
• Lime wedges and red pepper flakes (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. Add all ingredients for the sauce into the bowl of a blender. Puree until completely smooth. Set aside.
2. Over medium heat in a very large nonstick pan, saute shrimp in remaining 2 Tablespoons oil until opaque. Add reserved sauce from blender and warm over gentle heat. Stir in cooked pasta until combined. (It will seem like there is a lot of sauce, however the pasta will soak it all up...like magic.)
