Looks like shito appears to be the Ghanaian equivalent of Chinese XO sauce and shacha sauce, except spicier. All three sauces are made with very umami-rich ingredients, which makes those sauces amazing umami bombs.
I used to live in Ghana doing voluntary work and I used to eat shitto with rice and chicken (a popular meal there). It tastes really good. They really should’ve thought of a better name though. It also tastes good with fufu and banku.

So when someone think’s they’re “hot shit” this is what they really mean?
🤣🤣🤣
A local guy started selling his version of this sauce near me in CT: https://www.ohshito.com/
I got some at a farmers market. It’s pretty tasty stuff.
When constipation hits don’t just sit there. Shit there with Shito!
your shit would look just like the sauce you consumed.
It’s Ghana’s Choice!
“I bet you think you’re Hot Shito.”
😂🤣😂 very funny
It’s actually a nice sauce, I bought it the same as my cock flavoured soup (made by grace)
I’ve actually had that! Despite the name, it’s not that bad.
I need this as a pantry addition
Curiously enough, this is the actual name of the dish.
I worked in Ghana and this stuff was mega popular. Even had ads on TV which I thought were hilarious. It’s a name you never forget.
Korea in the 80’s plastered “Finest Kind” on everything-from laxatives to hookers. We had a field day with it.
