– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Sauce:
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
– 1-2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
For the Pasta:
– 12 oz spaghetti or linguine
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:
1. Cook the Pasta:
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Sauce:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha sauce, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth and well combined. Adjust the Sriracha for your preferred level of heat.
3. Cook the Shrimp:
Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Dredge each shrimp in cornstarch, shaking off any excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, followed by the prepared sauce. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated.
5. Assemble the Dish:
Add the cooked shrimp to the pasta and toss gently to combine. Allow everything to heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
