About Bang Bang Sauce
This Bonefish Grill copycat, Bang Bang Sauce, is a sweet, spicy, and creamy sauce made using mayonnaise, sweet Thai chili sauce, and spicy Sriracha.
It comes together in under 5 minutes and is great to drizzle over seafood, meat, or veggies.
If you have been to the Bonefish Grill Restaurant, you will know this popular sauce they use to coat their shrimp appetizer. One bite, and I knew I had to try it at home; it was so delicious.
This Bonefish Grill copycat homemade version is as delicious, and I see no reason not to make it at home. It is much more economical than buying a bottle, and you can easily double or triple the recipe as needed.
Once you make this divine sauce, try it on shrimp, fish, or chicken, or use it as an appetizer dip. This simple yet super versatile sauce can do so much.
Ingredients
Mayonnaise is the base of this copycat recipe. I like to use full-fat mayonnaise, as it makes the sauce very rich and creamy, but feel free to use low-fat mayo if you are concerned about the calories.
Use eggless mayonnaise to make the sauce vegan.
You can also substitute mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
Thai Sweet Chili Sauce has a sweet and spicy kick. You can use store-bought or make it at home with my simple sweet chili sauce recipe
Sriracha Sauce – Add sriracha sauce for that extra spicy kick.
The sweetness from Thai sweet chili sauce is perfect, but you can make it sweeter by adding a little honey or maple syrup.
Add some garlic powder and smoked paprika to add more flavor to your homemade bang bang sauce recipe.
I sometimes add some cayenne pepper or hot sauce for extra spice and a dash of lemon juice or rice vinegar for that perfect tartness.
If you like a tangy sauce, then add a little lime juice or apple cider vinegar to the sauce.
