What is bang bang sauce?

Bang bang sauce is a creamy, sweet and spicy homemade condiment made with mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar. Bonefish Grill uses it as a coating for fried shrimp and serves it as an appetizer, but the possibilities are endless. See Serving Suggestions below for ways to use the sauce!

Ingredients

If you do any amount of Asian inspired cooking, you’ll likely have these pantry staples on hand already!

  • Mayonnaise – the creamy base of our sauce. It’s a prominent flavor, so be sure to use a brand that you enjoy the taste of. We always opt for an olive oil version of mayo, but feel free to use full-fat! Want to make it healthier? Some people have used Greek yogurt with success.
  • Sweet Thai Chili Sauce – adds both a sweet and spicy flavor to the sauce. Apparently Bonefish Grill uses Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce in their version, but I can never find it at my local grocery store, so I use Frank’s Red Hot Sweet Chili Sauce. Like with the mayo, be sure to use a brand that you enjoy the taste of.  See Variations on how to make without chili sauce.
  • Sriracha – provides extra spice to the sauce. Add as more or as little as you like depending on your heat tolerance.
  • Seasoned Rice Vinegar – rice vinegar that’s been flavored with a touch of salt and sugar. Vinegar helps to tame some of the heat from the Sriracha while also balancing out the sweetness from chili sauce and cutting the richness of the mayo.
Pro tip
You can truly make this sauce your own. Too spicy? Stir in more mayo or vinegar. Like it sweeter? Add more Thai chili sauce or a drizzle of honey. Love heat? Add more Sriracha!

How to make

This flavor-bomb of a sauce takes 5 minutes or less to whip up!

  1. Place mayo, chili sauce, sriracha, and vinegar into a large bowl and whisk until smooth.
  2. Taste and re-season, if necessary, then serve as desired!
Pro tip
While specific measurements are given, be sure to taste and season until it’s perfect for your palate!

Variations

  • Make it healthier. If you’d like to make this without mayo, try using equal parts greek yogurt instead.
  • Make it without sweet chili sauce. Try this homemade sweet chili sauce instead of the store-bought variety or use chili-garlic sauce and add honey, to taste.
  • Make it vegan. Replace the mayo with a plant-based variety such as Hellman’s Vegan Mayo, Primal Kitchen Vegan Mayo, etc.

Serving suggestions

Bonefish Grill serves their bang bang sauce as a coating for fried shrimp (recipe coming soon!), but the possibilities are endless:

  • Use it as a dip. French fries, popcorn chicken, tater tots, egg rolls, etc.
  • Use it as a pasta sauce. Recipe coming soon!
  • Use it for tacos. Recipe coming soon!
  • Drizzle it. Over meat, seafood, vegetables, anything!

How to store

Leftovers will last in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Freezing the sauce is not recommended, because the mayo will likely curdle and separate when thawed.
