So what is Bang Bang Sauce?
The Sauce is a sauce that coats shrimp appetizers, it tastes sweet and savory. It is made from mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha (or your favorite hot sauce), and adds a little honey. This is a copycat recipe from Bonefish Grill. They use Thai brand sweet chili sauce, this chili sauce is available on online markets such as Amazon and other Asian markets.

Is this Sauce Healthy or Diet Friendly?
If you use mayonnaise, it might not be a healthy food, and we know that one spoonful of mayo is not healthy. So in making the Bang Bang Sauce recipe, you can use Greek Yogurt as a Mayo substitute, just use the same ratio.
To make keto-friendly sauce, you can omit the honey, use keto-friendly mayo, and use garlic chili sauce as a substitute for sweet chili sauce.
This is a simple sauce but the taste is very strong, you can pour it over shrimp, lobster, chicken, or just dip vegetables like carrots. This chili sauce is so delicious and so versatile that it’s hard to find a food that can’t compare to it.
When making Bang Bang Sauce, make sure you taste it as you go. If you like it sweeter, then add more honey. Remember, this is your cooking and you can make it according to your tastes.
Remember, and this is an important tip, if necessary you can note it down. If you find your chili sauce is too spicy, then you don’t need to add more honey but just add lemon juice. This is a unique technique and works. Adding lemon will trick the brain into making something spicy that isn’t spicy.
