Instructions

Cook Pasta and Mix Sauce

Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine until it’s tender but still has a little bite, about 8 minutes. While the pasta is cooking, mix together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, cream, garlic, Sriracha, paprika, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth.

Saut Shrimp with Butter

Next, melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp along with the wine and lime juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp just start turning pink, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Combine pasta and sauce

Once the pasta is done, drain it but save a couple of tablespoons of the pasta water. Add that to the skillet with the shrimp, then stir in the mayo mixture and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Toss in the fettuccine and give everything a good stir so the pasta is nicely coated in the sauce.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to avoid drying out the shrimp. Adding a splash of cream or water while reheating can help keep the sauce smooth.
