Bang Bang Shrimp and Pasta
We love my Bang Bang Chicken so we decided to use the same concept with shrimp. I chose to keep this meal lighter so I didn't bread the shrimp. I hope you enjoy my Bang Bang Shrimp and Pasta.

Recipe Notes
I love fresh garlic but it can be tedious to work with at times. For this recipe I used jarred fresh minced garlic. It makes cooking so much easier!
