Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Squid

    In a bowl, season the cleaned squid rings with salt and black pepper. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Shishitos

    Wash the shishito peppers and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Fry the Squid

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Dredge the marinated squid rings in flour, shaking off the excess. Fry the squid in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Shishitos

    In a separate pan, add a little oil and sauté the shishito peppers over medium heat until blistered and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the fried squid rings on a platter alongside the sautéed shishito peppers. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce and garnish with lime wedges.
