1. Put the olive oil in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Add the shallot and sweat until soft, about 2 minutes.
2. Add the pepper juice and bring to a simmer. Allow the juice to simmer until reduced to about ¼ cup, 30 to 40 minutes. For a sauce with more body, whisk in the butter if using right before serving.*
Note: Although thin, this sauce is very flavorful and stands very well on its own. However, if you prefer a thicker sauce without butter, make a slurry with one tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water and whisk into the sauce, a little at a time, as it simmers until the desired consistency is achieved.
