Bang Bang Sauce is sweet, spicy, and creamy, best known for its use with Bang Bang Shrimp. This popular Bonefish Grill appetizer is irresistible, but you can make the sauce at home with just 3 ingredients. I made a healthier version too, using yogurt instead of mayo. Use this delicious sauce with shrimp, chicken, seafood, vegetables, and more!

What’s in Bang Bang Shrimp Sauce
There’s just one step in this recipe: mix 3 ingredients together and you’re done! This sweet, tangy, spicy, savory sauce tastes great with more than just shrimp.
- Plain Greek Yogurt: Using yogurt instead of mayo gives this sauce the same creamy texture, but makes it much healthier.
- Sweet Chili Sauce: This delicious sauce is sweet, spicy, and tangy all in one.
- Sriracha: This adds more spice, along with sweet and garlic-y notes.
What else can I add to this sauce?
Mixing ingredients together is the easiest thing to do, so adding a couple more things in is just as simple. Try adding garlic powder or crushed garlic, cayenne pepper, or lemon juice for some acidity.
