Mums & Spice Homemade Sheeto Hot – 340g | Authentic Ghanaian Hot Pepper Sauce | Traditional Shito Recipe

Ghana’s most beloved condiment — made the homemade way, the way it should be 🇬🇧

Shito — or Shitor Din — literally means “black pepper” in the Ga language, the native language of Accra, the capital of Ghana. It is Ghana’s answer to hot sauce, ketchup, and umami condiment all in one. Dark, rich, intensely savoury, and deeply aromatic — with a heat that builds slowly and a complexity of flavour that comes from the combination of dried fish, ground shrimp, peppers, and spices cooked low and slow in oil until everything melds together into something extraordinary.

Every Ghanaian family has their shito recipe. But most will admit that the best shito they ever tasted came from someone’s mother or grandmother — cooked over hours with care, patience, and an instinctive knowledge of when it’s ready.

Mums & Spice was born in 2011 — founded by Angie and Maame to bring the rich, bold flavours of authentic homemade Ghanaian cooking to the diaspora community. Their Homemade Sheeto Hot is exactly what the name promises — not a factory-produced approximation, but a genuinely homemade-style shito with the depth, texture, and bold heat that diaspora Ghanaians have been missing.

What’s In It

Shito sauce consists primarily of oil, ginger, dried fish, prawns, garlic, peppers, and spices — blended and cooked in vegetable oil until the flavours deepen and the colour becomes that characteristic deep, rich dark brown.

• 🌶️ Dried Chilli Peppers — the bold, penetrating West African heat that gives shito its signature kick
• 🐟 Dried Fish — the deep, savoury, umami backbone that makes shito taste unlike anything else
• 🦐 Dried Shrimp (Prawns) — adding rich, oceanic umami depth
• 🧄 Garlic & Ginger — aromatic, warming, deeply savoury
• 🧅 Onions — sweet, rounded depth that balances the heat
• 🫒 Vegetable Oil — the cooking medium that carries and preserves all the flavours
• 🌿 Traditional Ghanaian Spices — the Mums & Spice proprietary blend
