Instructions

Boil a large pot of salted water and cook linguine or spaghetti until al dente (8–10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
Pat shrimp dry, season with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat 1½ tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from skillet.
In the same skillet, lower heat to medium and add remaining olive oil. Sauté garlic until fragrant (30 seconds). Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey in a bowl; mix into the skillet until smooth.
Add drained pasta to the skillet with sauce. Toss well, adding reserved pasta water as needed for creaminess. Fold in sautéed shrimp.
Serve hot topped with green onions.
