Instructions

Mix the sauce ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.(You can warm this if you desire but it warmed up nicely for me when mixed with the hot pasta.)

In a large pot of boiling water, cook the pasta and drain well.

Place the uncooked shrimp in a medium sized bowl and add the paprika, 3 cloves of garlic, pepper

Heat the coconut oil on medium high heat and add the coated uncooked shrimp. Stir constantly while cooking until pink for approx. 6-8+ minutes. (depending on the size of the shrimp)

Remove from heat and set aside if pasta is not ready

In a large serving bowl, combine the pasta, shrimp and sauce mixture and toss.

Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
