Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This recipe for blistered shishito peppers is loved by many, and for good reason. First, the cooking
Begin by rinsing your shishito peppers under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.
In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the dry shishito peppers to the hot pan in a single layer. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow for even blistering.
Sauté the peppers for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are blistered all over and have darkened spots.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle sea salt over the hot peppers to season them generously.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the blistered shishito peppers just before serving for an extra zing!
