Too much mayo, the thai sauce did not give it much flavor either. Tossing the recipe

I made this dish according to the directions and it was wonderful!... The next time I make it I'm going to add 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes to up the heat but other than that the recipe is awesome! I also used Jumbo Shrimp and half a pound of regular spaghetti noodles. It still turned out delicious!...
