Notes

This Boom Boom Sauce is a creamy, spicy-sweet condiment that yields about 1 cup, making it perfect for dipping shrimp, chicken, fries, or even drizzling over tacos and rice bowls.
The heat level can be adjusted with more or less sriracha, and honey can be swapped with sugar or agave for sweetness. For extra depth, a squeeze of lemon or lime can be added just before serving.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5–7 days to enjoy fresh, bold flavor whenever needed.
