Black pepper.

½ cup of Hellman’s mayonnaise.
½ cup of Thai sweet chili sauce.
2 minced cloves of garlic.
2 tbsps of lime juice.
¼ tsp of crushed red pepper flakes.
½ tbsp of onion powder.
How to:
Mix all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions and drain.
In a medium bowl, mix the uncooked shrimp, paprika, 3 cloves of garlic and pepper until well combined.
Cook the shrimp in a large skillet over medium high heat stirring constantly for 10 minutes.
Mix together all of the ingredients in a large bowl, the pasta, shrimp and the sauce and toss well.
Voila!
Easy, peasy and yummy! We use this with shrimp as it adds a wonderful flavor to the pasta, my kids love adding some cheese over the top. Give it a shot, you’ll like it.
