What Makes the Planet Hollywood Thai Shrimp Pasta So Good? 

Sure, this may not be ‘authentic’ Thai cooking, but it is darn tasty, so who cares? If you love spice, shrimp, and Asian flavors, trying this recipe is a no-brainer. There is so much going on here flavor-wise that it will surely become a family favorite. 

Why You Should Try This Thai Pasta Recipe

Although the ingredient list is long, and you may need to purchase several of the items online, this is the kind of recipe that is a welcome departure from the everyday. Plenty of Thai shrimp pasta recipes online are simpler to prepare than this one, but none of those have such deep and complex flavors as this version.

To make it more worthwhile, remember that you can double the Thai sauce portion of this recipe and use it as a glaze for grilled pork chops or chicken breasts.

Thai Shrimp Pasta Ingredients

For the Thai sauce, you’ll need:

  • Ketchup
  • Rice vinegar
  • Sesame oil
  • Hot chili oil
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Hoisin sauce
  • Fresh chopped garlic
  • Ginger, chopped
  • Lemon juice
  • Chinese mustard powder
  • Light soy sauce
  • Water
  • Sweet chili sauce
  • Peanut butter
  • Crushed red pepper flakes

For the pasta, you’ll need:

  • Butter
  • Garlic, chopped
  • Shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • A variety of mixed julienned vegetables. Celery, carrots, bell pepper, and onions are great choices. 
  • Fresh cilantro leaves
  • Peanuts 
  • Linguine, cooked 
  • Green onions, sliced

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

Thai chili oil is much more than just oil and chilies. For the best flavor, use it if you can. Thai and True is a good brand, but it isn’t cheap. If you want a more budget-friendly alternative, you can use a Chinese-style hot chili oil. Although it won’t have all the flavors of a Thai version, it will get you most of the way there. 

S&B Oriental Hot Mustard Powder is a good choice for Chinese mustard powder. If you can’t find Chinese mustard powder, use Colman’s Mustard Powder as a 1:1 substitute. 

Sweet chili sauce is sweet, tangy, and hot. You can find it in most supermarkets or online. Since it is a major flavor component of this recipe, use a good sweet chili sauce.

Use medium-sized shrimp. The 16/20 or 26/30 count size is great. If you don’t know how to peel and devein shrimp, this YouTube video can help.

What to Serve With Thai Shrimp Noodles

An Asian-style salad is a good, fresh side dish. Spring and summer rolls are also nice additions. 

How to Store Thai Pasta

For the best flavor and texture, cook only as much shrimp pasta as you want to eat at the time. However, if you have any leftovers, you can keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for about 24 hours before the pasta softens and the shrimp start to turn.

The sauce on its own will keep in a storage container in the refrigerator for up to five days.

What Is the Best Way to Reheat the Pasta

Warming the pasta on the stovetop is an excellent way to prepare any leftovers from this Thai pasta recipe. 

  1. Place a pan over medium heat, and when it is hot, pour in a few tablespoons of water.
  2. Add the pasta and continuously stir until everything is warmed through, about two to three minutes.
