1
Prepare the Peppers
Wash the shishito peppers under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
2
Preheat the Pan
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure it is hot before adding the peppers.

3
Cook the Peppers
Add the olive oil to the hot skillet. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shishito peppers in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the peppers are blistered and charred on all sides.
4
Season the Peppers
Once the peppers are blistered, remove them from the heat. Sprinkle sea salt over the hot peppers to taste.

5
Serve with Lemon
Cut the fresh lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the blistered shishito peppers before serving. Enjoy!
