  • 300g (10.5oz) Linguine or Spaghetti Pasta: Long pasta shapes work best.
  • 120g (½ cup) Vegan Mayonnaise: Forms the creamy base of the sauce.
  • 30ml (2 Tbsp) Sriracha Sauce: Adjust to your spice preference.
  • 30ml (2 Tbsp) Sweet Chili Sauce: Adds sweetness and complexity.
  • 30ml (2 Tbsp) Fresh Lime Juice: Brightens the flavors.
  • 60g (¼ cup) Plain Unsweetened Yogurt: Adds creaminess and tang.
  • ½ cup (packed, ~15g) Fresh Cilantro Leaves: Essential for the vibrant crema.
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced: Adds aromatic depth.
  • 30ml (2 Tbsp) Olive Oil: For sautéing garlic and cooking shrimp.
  • ¼ cup (30g) Toasted Slivered Almonds: Provides crunch and nutty flavor.
  • 2 Tbsp (≈15g) Pomegranate Seeds: Adds sweetness and color.
  • Salt and Pepper to taste: For seasoning.

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Boil pasta until al dente, reserving 1 cup pasta water.
  2. Sauté Garlic: Sauté minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant.
  3. Cook Shrimp: Cook shrimp with salt and pepper until pink and opaque.
  4. Prepare Bang Bang Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, sweet chili sauce, and lime juice.
  5. Make Cilantro-Lime Crema: Blend cilantro, lime juice, yogurt, and salt until smooth.
  6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Toss pasta with sauce and pasta water until creamy, then fold in shrimp.
