Have dinner ready in 30 minutes with this Miso Calabrian Chili Shrimp Pasta! This dish is a delicious fusion of Italian and Japanese flavors. It’s spicy and full of umami! Cook the shrimp and sauce in the same pot, and then just toss in some cooked linguine. So quick and easy!
I love to use the Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba Sauce for the Calabrian chili paste. This is an Italian fusion recipe, so I used Calabrian chlili paste, but you could definitely use something like Sambal Oelek as well.

The flavors make sense and were good but this recipe is extremely salty. I could only make it through half. If there was a way to cut down on the salt I’d say make it but as is, it’s an absolute salt bomb.
Sorry to hear it was too salty! You can definitely lower the salt in the recipe by adjusting the amount of salt on the shrimp, using low-sodium soy sauce, or even reducing the amount of miso. Thanks for trying the recipe and leaving your feedback.
