Notes
- For a spicier dish, increase the amount of sriracha or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
- You can substitute spaghetti with linguine or fettuccine for a different pasta texture.
- Fresh shrimp can be used instead of thawed shrimp; adjust cooking time accordingly.
- To make this dish gluten free, use gluten-free pasta and ensure the sweet chili sauce contains no gluten ingredients.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if green onions are unavailable for a different but equally fresh taste.
