Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppers

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

  2. 2

    Blister the Peppers

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shishito peppers in a single layer. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the peppers are blistered and charred on all sides.

  3. 3

    Season the Peppers

    Sprinkle the kosher salt and Cajun seasoning over the blistered peppers and toss to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Make the Cajun Dipping Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the blistered shishito peppers to a serving platter and serve hot with the Cajun dipping sauce on the side.
