One Pan Bang Bang Shrimp

Kay's Little Kitchen
This recipe uses only one pan to make an amazing and zippy Bang Bang Shrimp. I use frozen cooked shrimp but you can use raw if you'd like. Those instructions are included. You can use spaghetti or linguini, whatever pasta you prefer.
This recipe makes a lot of sauce, I like things saucy. You can half the sauce recipe to make a lighter dish.
