Yum Yum Sauce
Yum Yum Sauce is a creamy condiment made by blending mayonnaise, tomato paste, melted butter, and a mix of spices including garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. It has a smooth, slightly sweet, and mildly smoky flavor that can be customized with optional hot sauce, cayenne, or chili flakes for heat. The sauce thickens when chilled and is intended to rest overnight for the flavors to meld, resulting in a rich accompaniment for grilled meats, seafood, or vegetables.
