Bang Bang Sauce

This creamy, sweet, tiny-bit-spicy pink sauce was popularised in America as the sauce for "Bang Bang Shrimp" - crispy fried prawns tossed din the sauce - but the world quickly discovered it's just as good with burgers, wraps, tacos, fries and even as a salad dressing!

This goes particularly well with the Prawn Burgers that I also published today (Shrimp Burgers).

Notes

1. Mayonnaise - Whole egg mayo is creamier and less tangy than normal mayo. My recommended is S&W (Australia), followed by Hellman’s and Kewpie (equal second).

2. Sweet Chilli Sauce - just from regular grocery stores, any brand is fine. This is a sweet sauce that is a touch tangy and just very, very mildly spicy.

3. Sriracha is my preferred because it has other flavours in it other than chillies that adds to the Bang Bang sauce flavour - garlic, vinegar, salt.

Keeps for many weeks in the fridge!
