Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppers

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

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Peppers

    Add the shishito peppers to the pan and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until they are blistered and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Add Uchiracha

    Once the peppers are blistered, remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the uchiracha sauce over the peppers. Toss to coat.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Sprinkle the sea salt over the peppers and serve hot with lime wedges on the side.
