Spicy Shrimp Pasta

Introducing our Spicy Shrimp Pasta recipe, a tasty spin incorporating our Burman’s General Tso’s sauce.

The culinary journey begins by gently sautéing garlic in warm oil until its aroma begins to waft. Add the shredded cabbage, letting it soften just a touch. Then, fold in the shrimp, ensuring they're well-coated and absorbing the rich flavors.

Meanwhile, a blend of pineapple juice, soy sauce, lime juice, chili sauce, and crushed red pepper comes together in a separate bowl. This flavorful mixture is then poured into the pan, where it simmers, melding with the garlic, cabbage and shrimp.

Prepare the spaghetti as directed on the package and drain well. Once ready, it joins the pan, mingling with the previously sautéed ingredients and the simmered sauce.  

Now, it's time for the finishing touches. Fresh green onions, fragrant cilantro and crunchy peanuts are tossed in, enhancing the dish's vibrant color, aroma and texture. A squeeze of lime adds the final touch, infusing a burst of citrusy brightness that brings all the flavors to life.
