Difficult question: How to obtain compensation in this (bad!?) and rare Sicilian Alapin line

This was the line I analyzed. The better player has good winning options. Three results are in the game.
Qa5 (forcing Queen exchange with recapture KxQa5) is what I would play (opens up your bishops nicely)
True, but it certainly gains tempo as if the Q exchange is refused they have to move the Queen,
Guess that's why you are a CM and I am so badly rated :)
Of course! Doh, how about something completely reckless? Bxh3, sacrificing the Bishop to destroy Whites King blockade?
Just throwing it out there, trying to think outside the box!
