Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Mayonnaise full-fat for best creaminess
  • 1/4 cup Sweet Chili Sauce bottled
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha or more, to taste for heat
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Rice Vinegar or fresh lime juice for extra zest
  • 1/2 tsp Granulated Sugar optional, to balance flavors
  • 1/8 tsp Salt or to taste

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons

Method
 

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, rice vinegar, granulated sugar (if using), and salt.
  2. Whisk all ingredients together thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined. Ensure there are no lumps.
  3. Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as desired. You might add more sriracha for extra heat, more sugar for sweetness, or a bit more vinegar or lime juice for added tang.
  4. For best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate the Boom Boom Sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and deepen.

Notes

This Zesty Boom Boom Sauce is incredibly versatile. It's fantastic with fried shrimp, chicken tenders, onion rings, french fries, fish tacos, or as a spread for sandwiches. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
