Ingredients

Combine the Ingredients
Add the mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, and lemon juice to a small mixing bowl.
Stir until completely combined and smooth.
Taste & Adjust
Taste the spicy mayo and add a little more Sriracha if you prefer extra heat.
For a milder sauce, stir in a little additional mayonnaise.
Chill & Serve
Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
Stir before serving and use as a dipping sauce, drizzle, or topping for sushi, shrimp, rice bowls, sandwiches, and more.

Adjust the heat: Add more Sriracha for extra spice or more mayonnaise for a milder sauce.
Let it chill: Refrigerate the sauce for about 30 minutes before serving so the flavors have time to blend.
Make it thinner: Stir in a tiny splash of water or lemon juice if you want a thinner sauce for drizzling.
Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice gives the sauce a brighter, fresher flavor.
Try it on everything: Use it with sushi, shrimp, rice bowls, sandwiches, fries, vegetables, or as a dipping sauce.
