Prepare the dried smoked shrimps and dried smoked fish by blending them together with dried red chili pepper, garlic, and ginger.

Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat.

Transfer the blended ingredients into the oil.

You don't necessarily need to fry it; just make sure to add your spices and you're good to go.

Allow the mixture to cool down after cooking.

The shito will look ready once cooled.

Use more oil when making shito if you want to preserve it at ambient temperature.

If preserving in the refrigerator, it will last for a month; if frozen, it can last for a whole year.
