Sriracha Shrimp pasta is simple and easy. This hot and spicy recipe can be made in moments like magic in the kitchen.
If you want me to describe the taste of this recipe, I would say it is delicious but highly spicy and excellent with a bland main course like steamed plain rice and simple pasta.
As everyone knows, shrimp gets cooked within minutes, a blessing to the busy kitchen.
When a recipe does not need preparation time and asks for just a couple of ingredients, then why wait? Try this recipe, and I'm sure you will also enjoy the same.
I have to mention that this spicy sriracha shrimp bowl needs just one pan, including the pasta. So, with just one pan for cleaning, how excellent is this? (I can hear the person's heart who is doing all the dishes.)
Furthermore, are you planning to serve a perfect restaurant-style dinner with less time and work? Your best choice can be this spicy Shrimp recipe—a very colorful and spicier dish in minutes.
Like this homemade Sriracha honey sauce, the vibrant red color says all about the taste. It's delicious, but it is also hot and spicy. You cannot go wrong with a Sriracha shrimp marinade; the color influences us to be more liberal with the sauce.
Hence, adding half of the quantity and checking for spiciness compatibility are always recommended. Then, the increase in small proportions.
But if you want to adjust the quantity of sauce according to your taste and you have an intolerance to spiciness, proceed with caution.

How can the spice level of Sriracha shrimp pasta be reduced?
Do you find this sriracha shrimp sauce is spicy? You can try different variations in this recipe with less spice level.
Mayonnaise. Add mayonnaise to reduce the spice level. The sriracha mayo shrimp is creamy and delicious with much lower spiciness. Stir in the mayo once the shrimp is cooked.
Honey. You can also try honey sriracha shrimp, which is Asian-style glossy, hot, and sweet shrimp. In this variation, you stir in honey at the final stages of cooking.
Lime. To make sriracha lime shrimp, squeeze lime and drizzle salt at the end of cooking. The lime removes the spiciness and adds another dimension to the recipe.
Other ideas of using leftover Sriracha garlic shrimp
Though pasta is the ideal pair with this spicy shrimp. But these are incredibly great to serve with the taco, ramen noodles, or salad.
Is sriracha shrimp marinade needed?
The shrimp would taste great with the marinade. But we do not have control by guessing the spiciness of the sauce. So, I would recommend cooking the shrimp first and adding the sauce later, according to our preference.
What type of pasta is good?
Any pasta variety is good to pair up with a sriracha shrimp. Simple, less seasoned is perfect, to my knowledge.

How to make Sriracha shrimp pasta
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan. Add chopped garlic and saute for a minute until they turn golden brown.
Add washed and cleaned shrimp with ¼th teaspoon of salt.
Continue to cook it on medium-to-low heat, flipping it onto the other side occasionally. This process may take 4-6 minutes.
Once thoroughly cooked, add the Sriracha sauce and saute until the sauce coats the shrimp well. Remove from the fire and transfer the Sriracha Shrimp to the serving plate.
Hint: Decide the quantity of Sriracha as per your taste level. We love the spiciness and add about 2 tablespoon for this quantity.
Finally, toss with the cooked pasta before serving.
