Authentic, Savory Ghanaian Hot Pepper Sauce
Paulee’s Chilly Shitto Sauce (commonly spelled Shito) is a traditional Ghanaian condiment loved for its deep, smoky flavor and spicy kick. Unlike standard hot sauces, Shitto is slowly cooked down with a base of onions, peppers, and a rich blend of dried fish and shrimp. This slow-cooking process gives the sauce its signature dark color and a complex, savory umami taste that elevates simple ingredients.
