Captain Shon's Hot n' Sweet Mango Sauce


The mango is the apple (or the peach) of the tropics! Captain Shon captures that island flavor and blends it all together with the Passion Fruit, the Habanero Pepper and the Amazon Pepper!
We favor the mango because it's bursting with protective nutrients such as Vitamin C and Beta Carotene. Our Hot n' Sweet Mango Sauce adds rich tangy flavour good for your fried and breaded foods, BBQ, hamburgers, taco's, rice and roasted pork dishes!
We love it on our stir fried veggies and pizza!
Thanks again, Captain!

Captain Shon's Chipotle Sauce


When we think of chili peppers we usually think about something super hot and spicy. It is true that many are fiery hot, but many others are mild, sweet, or richly flavored. 
One of the more popular chili s are the Chipotle Chili peppers. Some chef's will argue that the chipotle is not a chile at all but more of a smoked Jalapeno Pepper! Captain Shon has found the perfect blend of spices with that kick we all love!
Generously shake Captain Shon's Chipotle Sauce on grilled or roasted meats. Add kick to soups, sauces, salsas, barbecue sauce, and salad dressings.  Drizzle it on seafood dishes such as shrimp, crab cakes, or stir fry dishes. It's just what the Captain ordered!

Captain Shon's Habanero Sauce

Captian Shon does it again!
The habanero is pronounced: hah bahn air oh, or, ah bahn air oh, without the leading 'h' sound. You'll hear it said both ways.
The Habenero! Yeeeeeh ha HOT!
The habanero is the hottest chile pepper you'll find in your local grocery stores, and they are, whoooooa-hooooo hot! The oil in the habanero, as well as many other hot chiles, can really give a good hot sting if we handle them too long.  Unripe habaneros are green, but the color at maturity varies. Common colors are orange and red, but white, brown, and pink are also seen.
Most habaneros rate 200,000 to 300,000 Scoville heat units. But we have found some even hotter!
This hot chili originated in the Caribbean and nearby South American Amazon Basin.
We love it because not only is it spicy but can have many unique flavors. It ranges from fruity, floral and nice and smokey.
This is how Captain Shon's Habanero Sauce get's that crazy authentic island flavor!
