This little gem of a recipe is a nice accompaniment to many dishes! It is great alongside shrimp, Mexican foods, to sprinkle on top of soups - I have even used it in omelets or stirred into scrambled eggs. It is especially nice when served with an otherwise 'plain' meat and potatoes meal. You can adjust the chili pepper up or down to your liking.
