1
Prepare the Aioli
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well until smooth and fully combined. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3
Blister the Peppers
Add the shishito peppers to the hot oil in a single layer. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are blistered and slightly charred.
4
Season
Remove the blistered peppers from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with sea salt while they are still hot.
5
Serve
Transfer the blistered shishito peppers to a serving plate and serve immediately with the lemon aioli on the side for dipping.
