1
Prepping the Ingredients
Rinse the shishito peppers under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Trim the stems if desired. Clean the cremini mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth; avoid soaking them in water.

2
Sautéing the Mushrooms
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cleaned cremini mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
3
Charring the Shishitos
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and increase the heat to high. Add the shishito peppers and cook for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are blistered and charred all over.
4
Finishing Touches
Once the shishito peppers are charred, return the sautéed cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning with additional sea salt and black pepper if desired.

5
Plating the Dish
Transfer the charred shishitos and crispy cremini mushrooms to a serving platter. Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately while hot.
