I love fiery shrimp scampi with noodles. If you do too, you will surely love this Asian Garlic Shrimp Spaghetti — which is a real fusion favorite! It is easy to prepare and delightful to eat. This dish is tangy and has a clear East and South Asian taste. I use a Korean Spicy Sauce, Thai Oyster Sauce, Chinese Soy Sauce, and Japanese Shiitake Mushrooms. The flavors blend harmoniously and will make you crave a second helping! Additionally, it looks elegant when presented on a plain or fancy plate.
Garlic and Shrimp
You know how well Garlic and Shrimp marry together in flavor and fragrance. To make two full servings, I use 12 large Shrimp and 12 large Garlic Cloves to provide a sparkling taste which is satisfying but not overwhelming. Two Spring Onions are a subtle addition of taste and color.
Shiitake Mushrooms
To strengthen the East Asian focus, I diced 6 Shiitake Mushrooms. They provide another texture and special flavor to the sauce and seasonings!
The Key Spicy Sauce
The prime sauce is Gochujang (Korean Spicy Sauce) which I also used in my Korean Kimchi and Bacon Fried Rice recipe. Every bite provides a sparkling sensation that is clear and strong. If you like hot surprises, you will like this sensation. For a milder version, substitute with Sriracha Chili Sauce.

Noter
- As mentioned earlier, if you prefer a milder taste, you can substitute Gochujang with Sriracha Chili Sauce. Or cut the amount of Gochujang to 1/2 tbsp. The deep taste of this dish comes from Gochujang.
This Fiery Asian Shrimp Spaghetti is a magical dish! Each mouthful satisfies with a spicy, salty, and sweet taste that merges the firm texture of the shrimp to the chewy experience of the Spaghetti. The Onion and Shiitake Mushrooms add to the symmetry of flavors in this elegant and comforting winner.
