Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha

  • Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Make sure the dried spices are fully incorporated into the sauce.
    A glass bowl filled with mayonnaise, ketchup, sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder sits on a marble surface. Nearby are a small empty wooden bowl, a white dish with sauce remnants, and a wooden spoon.
  • Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

Recipe Variations:
  • I prefer using dried garlic as opposed to freshly minced garlic because it is easier to incorporate. If you like the stronger flavor of fresh garlic and don't mind if you bite into a little piece, then mince or crush fresh garlic cloves to use in place of the powder.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a teaspoon of cayenne chili powder for extra heat.
 
Storage: You can store your sauce in the fridge for up to a week. Simply cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer your sauce to an airtight container.
 
Serving Suggestions: Boom boom sauce is incredibly versatile! It pairs exceptionally well with:
  • Fried foods like French fries, onion rings, corn dogs, and chicken tenders
  • Seafood dishes including shrimp, fish tacos, and crab cakes
  • Asian-inspired appetizers such as egg rolls, dumplings, and spring rolls
  • Burgers and sandwiches as a flavorful spread
  • Grilled meats and vegetables as a dipping sauce
  • Rice bowls and grain dishes as a drizzle topping
