Steps:
- Beat egg yolks on medium speed until slightly thickened.
- Add lemon juice, mustard, salt; beat one minute.
- Increase speed to medium-high, add 1/2 cup oil ONE TEASPOON AT A TIME (this is very important--or the mayonnaise will "break" ie., separate).
- SLOWLY pour in remaining oils in a steady stream, beating until incorporated (about 10 minutes).
- Fold in water, lemon juice, salt & cayenne.
- Serve at room temp; refrigerate leftovers for up to a week.
- REPAIR TRICK: If the mayo does "break" salvage the mixture by whisking a single (not married!) egg yolk in another bowl, then beat mayo into it a little at a time.

Steps:

Tips:
- Fresh is best: Use the freshest shrimp you can find for the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
- Make sure the shrimp is fully cooked: To ensure that the shrimp is fully cooked, cook it until it is opaque and pink. You can also check the internal temperature of the shrimp with a meat thermometer. It should read 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for bell peppers, carrots, and snow peas, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include broccoli, asparagus, and zucchini.
- Adjust the spiciness to your liking: The amount of Sriracha sauce that you add to the mayonnaise will determine how spicy the dipping sauce is. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
Conclusion:
This Asian boiled shrimp with spicy Asian mayonnaise is a quick and easy appetizer or main course that is sure to please everyone at your table. The shrimp is cooked to perfection and the dipping sauce is flavorful and spicy. Serve this dish with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
