Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppers

    Rinse the shishito peppers under cold water and dry them thoroughly with a towel.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer.

  3. 3

    Blister the Peppers

    Add the shishito peppers to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the peppers are blistered and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Season and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle with sea salt, and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top if desired. Serve immediately.
