Shitto(Ghanaian Hot Sauce Condiment)

We made this sauce with tomatoes,ground smoked fish,ground dried shrimp,beef bouillon powder,onions,ginger,ground habenero pepper and canola oil. There's a link to a recipe at the end of this post.
Shitto,Shitor Din, commonly called Shito is the word for pepper in the Ghanaian native language (Ga) of the capital Accra. Whilst the word for pepper is different for each of the Ghanaian native languages, the word 'Shito' is widely used as the name for the hot black pepper sauce ubiquitous in Ghanaian cuisine.
Shito sauce consists primarily of fish oil and/or palm oil, ginger, dried fish, prawns and/or crustaceans, tomatoes, garlic, peppers and spices. The blend of spices and fish differs between different regions and villages.
