Instructions
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes until smooth. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced green onions and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the prepared peanut sauce into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and gently toss to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat everything through.
Garnish the dish with chopped cilantro, crushed peanuts, and additional green onions if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors of this Thai-inspired shrimp pasta!
