Why you’ll love this 3 ingredient bang bang sauce
This is one of my favorite sauces to make, it’s so versatile and so flavorful – plus, you can use it in so many ways. It works great for dipping crispy shrimp, drizzling it over tacos, or using it as a unique salad dressing.
This sauce adds a perfect blend of spicy, sweet, and creamy to whatever you add it to, and you can make it a bit more spicy if you like, or less for that matter – just add a bit more sriracha, or a little less.

Ingredient notes:
- Sriracha – This is what adds the fiery kick and bold flavor to bang bang sauce, it helps balance the flavors with its acidic spiciness and depth.
- Sweet chili sauce – While this sauce also adds some mild heat, it adds sweetness to the sauce. I used Mae Ploy, which I picked up in the international aisle of my local grocery store.
- Mayonnaise – We use regular mayonnaise, but can use vegan mayo to make this recipe egg free!
Making changes to a recipe can result in recipe failure. Any substitutions listed are simple changes that I believe will work in this recipe, but results are not guaranteed.
