— You’ll need :
1 pound dried spaghetti
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon coconut oil
4 1/4 cup water
1 pound raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and deviened
3/4 cup light mayonnaise
3/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce, more as needed
1/2 cup chopped scallions
Salt and pepper
— Preparation :
STEP 1:
Break the spaghetti noodles in half and place in the Instant Pot. Add the garlic, coconut oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and water. Cover and lock the lid into place.
STEP 2:
Set the Instant Pot on “Pressure Cook High” for 4 minutes. Once it is finished cooking, turn the Instant Pot “Off”, then press the button to “Quick Release” the steam, until the valve button drops.
STEP 3:
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl mix the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and Sriracha together.
STEP 4:
Unlock the lid and stir the sauce into the pasta. Let the sauce simmer and thicken 2-3 minutes if needed. Pour in the shrimp and scallions, then mix to combine. Set the Instant Pot on “Sauté” and cook for 2-3 minutes, toss and simmer until the shrimp are pink. Taste, then salt and pepper as needed. Add more Sriracha if desired. Serve warm.
Becky’s Tips:
- To enhance the flavors, marinate the shrimp in a mixture of sweet chili sauce and lime juice for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Feel free to adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the amount of Sriracha sauce according to your preference.
- For a healthier alternative, you can use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta.
- Experiment with different types of seafood, such as scallops or chunks of white fish, to personalize the dish to your liking.
