Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch (optional)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp water
- 8 oz spaghetti
- Salt for boiling water
- 2 tbsp butter
- Sesame seeds, toasted
- Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped
- Extra red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti 8–10 minutes until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, drain, and toss with butter.
- Pat shrimp dry and season with salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp soy sauce; add cornstarch if using and let marinate 5 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear shrimp 2–3 minutes per side until pink; remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté garlic 1 minute, then whisk in soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, sriracha, rice vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and water. Simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened.
- Toss cooked pasta into the sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed. Fold in shrimp, then bake at 375°F for 10 minutes until bubbly.
- Garnish with sesame seeds, parsley or green onions, and extra red pepper flakes. Serve hot.
Notes
Avoid overcooking shrimp to prevent toughness; use reserved pasta water to maintain sauce silkiness; adjust spice level to taste for family-friendly servings.
