Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta

This Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta has the most scrumptious creamy sauce that is ready in about 20 minutes. This recipe is truly one of the best shrimp recipes ever! If you are a shrimp and pasta recipe seeker, you will really love this easy dinner. The sauce is what makes it delish!! I have never cooked with Thai sweet chili sauce and I love it. It has just enough spice to it but not too much to be overwhelming. If you like a little extra spice, you can add a little red pepper flakes to kick it up even more.
