Ingredients
  

8 oz linguine or spaghetti

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for added crunch)

1 cup mayonnaise

2-3 tbsp sweet chili sauce (adjust for spice preference)

1-2 tsp sriracha (optional, for extra heat)

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

Salt & pepper to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

3 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the linguine or spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.

    Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, soak the peeled and deveined shrimp in buttermilk for about 10 minutes. This helps to tenderize the shrimp and add flavor.

      Coat the Shrimp: In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge each shrimp in the breadcrumb mixture.

        Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

          Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha (if using). Adjust the seasoning and heat according to your taste.

            Combine everything: In the same skillet used for the shrimp, add the drained pasta and reserved pasta water. Toss well over medium heat to combine and warm through. Add the shrimp back into the skillet and drizzle with the Bang Bang sauce, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.

              Serve: Plate the pasta, garnishing with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro. Drizzle with extra Bang Bang sauce if desired.
