Boom Boom Sauce
When it comes to sauces, Boom Boom sauce stands out with its flavor and versatility. You can serve it with crispy chicken tenders, spicy shrimp, or even as a zesty dip for fresh vegetables. Whether you’re grilling outdoors or hosting game night, this sauce will elevate your meal.
Equipment
- Airtight Container, Bowl
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce: This adds a sweet note.
- ¾ cup mayonnaise: I recommend using Dukes for its creamy texture.
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder: For an underlying savory flavor.
- 2 teaspoons sriracha hot sauce: A kick of heat for that Boom Boom punch.
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper: Just enough spice to awaken the taste buds.
- 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup: Sweetness and tang combined.
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder: A must for that delightful aroma.
- 1 teaspoon lime juice: A hint of brightness that cuts through the creaminess.
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt: Enhances all the flavors.
Instructions
Step 1: Gather Ingredients
- Make sure all your ingredients are at hand. This way, you can create the sauce smoothly without interruption. It makes everything easier.
Step 2: Whisk Together
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, ketchup, sriracha, onion powder, garlic powder, and lime juice. Use a whisk for a smooth blend. It's like a dance party for your ingredients.
Step 3: Add Seasonings
- Once combined, add the sea salt and black pepper. Taste the sauce at this point. You can always add more heat with extra sriracha if you’re feeling bold!
Step 4: Refrigerate
- Transfer the sauce to an airtight container. Let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to meld beautifully. It will feel like a mini flavor festival every time you whip it out later.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Once ready, serve it with your favorite dishes. Use it as a dip for appetizers or pour it generously over grilled items.
Notes
Quality Matters: Use high-quality mayonnaise. Your sauce is only as good as its base.
Adjust the Heat: Not everyone enjoys spice. Tailor the sriracha to your taste. You can also try other hot sauces.
Give It Time: Letting the sauce sit enhances its flavors. Don’t rush this step.
Experiment with Add-ins: Try adding finely chopped herbs like cilantro or parsley for a fresh twist.
Double the Batch: It’s a crowd-pleaser, so make extra. You’ll thank me later!
