Spicy Garlic Mayo sauce with sriracha
In 10 minutes or less, this spicy garlic mayo with sriracha sauce will liven up any meal as a dipping sauce or topping.
Ingredients
 | 1/2 cup of mayonnaise (store-bought or homemade mayonnaise) |
 | 2 teaspoons of garlic powder (I recommend garlic powder or flakes. They are easier to add than crushing fresh garlic, and it mixes in easily.) |
 | 3 tablespoons of sriracha – sriracha works best, but you can also use Frank’s Red Hot sauce. |
 | 1 teaspoon of paprika – for a bit of spice |
 | 1 teaspoon of lemon juice – freshly squeezed lemon juice for flavor |
 | 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper – for more spice |
How to make this spicy garlic mayo
- Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl until well combined.
- Adjust the sriracha and cayenne pepper to taste for extra heat, if desired.
- Serve immediately.
- Store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Spicy garlic mayo is a staple in my fridge. It’s that perfect blend of spicy, savory and garlicky all at the same time. For that boring plain baked chicken or as a topping on a burger, a little goes a long way.
Adding plain sriracha may not have as many different flavor facets to it, but for sushi, nothing tastes as good as a combo of soy sauce and spicy garlic mayo.
Now, I should mention that the garlic flavor in this sauce is not as strong as the in my rouille spicy garlic sauce. That is more of a homemade sauce that has a much more nostril-tingling garlic taste.
But this spicy mayo is also easier to make, taking 5 minutes or less, and is much more easier to enjoy for young and old. A win in anyone’s books!

How to store it?
This spicy garlic mayo can be made in advance and stored it in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
I don’t recommend freezing it however because the mayonnaise emulsion will separate. The spicy garlic mayo will change in texture and become watery.
In addition, if you are using homemade mayonnaise (rather than store-bought), the uncooked eggs may develop bacteria.
