Equipment

  • Instant pot or large pot

Ingredients

  • 16 oz spaghetti pasta
  • 4 cups water
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil, or the oil of your choice
  • 16 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ¾ cup light mayonnaise
  • ¾ cup Thai sweet red chili sauce
  • 4 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • To get the spaghetti inside the Instapot, break it in half. Add the minced garlic, avocado oil, and water. Place the lid on and cook on “pressure cook high” for 4 minutes. Quick-release the steam until the valve button drops.
  • Make the sauce: in a small bowl combine the mayo, Thai sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and Sriracha until smooth.
  • Once the valve button drops on the Instapot, remove the lid, stir in the sauce (do not drain the water), and let it simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp, mix to combine, press “saute” and cook for 3 more minutes until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Serve with freshly chopped green onions or parsley on top.
