Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash the Peppers

    Rinse the shishito peppers under cold running water to remove any dirt or residue. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Make sure it is hot before you start cooking the peppers.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Coat with Olive Oil

    In a large mixing bowl, add the shishito peppers and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss them gently to ensure they are evenly coated.

  2. 4

    Season the Peppers

    Sprinkle the sea salt and black pepper over the oiled peppers. Toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.

  3. 5

    Grill the Peppers

    Place the seasoned shishito peppers on the hot grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the peppers are blistered and charred in spots.

  4. 6

    Add Lemon Juice

    Once the peppers are done, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
