Notes

Fresh ingredients make all the difference—especially garlic and coriander.
To adjust spice levels, start with less chili paste and add more gradually.
For a lighter version, consider zucchini noodles instead of pasta.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently on the stovetop. Avoid microwaving to preserve shrimp's texture.
