Ingredients notes

Besides being a versatile sauce that always makes coconut shrimp taste better, this is also the easiest recipe made with simple ingredients. You likely have most, if not all, of these in your kitchen already:

• Mayonnaise – You can also substitute plain greek yogurt.
• Thai Sweet chili sauce – The speckles of red chili flakes make sweet chili sauce look spicy, but it’s nicely balanced between sweet and savory. Try not to skip it!
• Sriracha – Or replace it with another hot sauce or chili garlic sauce that you have on hand.
• Rice Wine Vinegar – You can also use red wine vinegar, champagne vinegar, or lime juice, or lemon juice.
• Sesame Seeds – To garnish. These are optional.
• Chives – Or green onions, to garnish. These are optional as well.

How to make it

It’s easy! Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl, stir to combine, and you’re done.

You can use the creamy dipping sauce right away or store it in the fridge for later.

Variations

• Want to make a vegan version? Just replace the mayonnaise with your favorite plant based mayo.
• If you’re not afraid of heat, add an extra tablespoon of spicy sriracha.
• If it’s too spicy, reduce the amount of hot sauce by 1 tablespoon.

How to make ahead + store

• The leftover sauce will last for about 1 month when it’s stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
