This Spicy Shut Yo Mouth Sauce is a bold, creamy, and fiery condiment that elevates any dish. It’s the perfect dip, drizzle, or marinade when you want a spicy kick with layers of smoky, tangy flavor. Quick to make and unforgettable in taste—this sauce talks back!


Ingredients

Scale

½ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon sriracha

1 teaspoon hot sauce (like Tabasco or Crystal)

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon honey or sugar

Pinch salt


Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together ½ cup mayonnaise and ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt until smooth.

2. Stir in 1 tablespoon sriracha, 1 teaspoon hot sauce, and ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper.

3. Add ½ teaspoon smoked paprika and ½ teaspoon garlic powder.

4. Mix in 1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to brighten the flavor.

5. Stir in 1 teaspoon honey or sugar to balance the heat.

6. Season with a pinch of salt and adjust spice level if needed.

7. Chill the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.


Notes

Use Greek yogurt for a protein-packed, tangier version.

For a thinner sauce, add a teaspoon of water or extra vinegar.

Letting it chill longer deepens the flavor—overnight is ideal!
