This was an absolutely delicious sauce and I could imagine putting it on just about anything. My husband and I loved it! I used chili paste because I didn't have a habanero pepper. It was just spicy enough. My next step is to try it on shrimp.

really good recipe - simple but full of flavor. I didn't realize how hot habanero peppers are until now, so next time I'll only use half. If you don't want to get the peppers on your fingers when you chop, use plastic gloves! I think this well go well with any fish. Thanks!
