Peri Peri Sauce
Peri peri or piri piri sauce is a traditional African sauce made from chili peppers that packs plenty of heat yet is surprisingly light. You can vary the amount of heat by including the seeds from the peppers as well as varying the number of peppers used. I like to serve this with grilled, pan cooked, or roasted chicken or shrimp.
