What is Dynamite Shrimp?

Creamy mayo mixed with masago roe and topped on large butterflied shrimp then baked until hot and creamy.

Dynamite shrimp is similar to seafood dynamite which uses the same type of mayo based sauce.

Many dynamite shrimp recipes use fried shrimps, however, this recipe is baked and does not contain a batter and is therefore egg free and flour free.

What is dynamite sauce made of?

Dynamite sauce is made up of mayo, and masago (capelin fish roe).  Other recipes may add sugar, and sriracha to give it a spicy kick.
