Asian-Style Shrimp Scampi marries garlicky, gingery heat with tangy lime, soy, and a touch of Sriracha for a bright, savory punch. Juicy seared shrimp and a glossy pan sauce coat tender spaghetti, finished with green onions and sesame for toasty depth. It’s a lively, weeknight-ready pasta that feels special without extra fuss.

1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring now and then, until slightly firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
2

Meanwhile, heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the shrimp until they begin to firm up, about 2 minutes per side; transfer them to a plate.
3

Add sherry, garlic, sesame oil, and ginger paste to the skillet; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add broth, soy sauce, and Sriracha; cook for 4 minutes. Add butter; cook until melted, about 1 minute.
4

Return the shrimp to the skillet; cook for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in lime juice.
5

Divide the spaghetti among 4 plates; top with the shrimp scampi. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
