Oh yes, grow your own Shishito peppers. So easy to grow. The bushes are heavy bearing.
You can save seeds from peppers you buy in the stores! no need to search for seeds in packets!
I love them charred with my morning scrambled eggs & chopped scallions & tomatoes.

I love blistered shishito peppers and have a bumper crop of these jems in my garden this year. I am so pleased that you provided the tip to oil the peppers not the pan. Makes a huge difference! Thank you!

Yum, I have had shishitos before but it’s been a long minute. Lol. My husband has a garden and he came in one day and said ” look at the peppers I grew” They were shishitos, so came on here to see how to prepare them. Love this recipe, easy but delicious, I don’t like lemon but put extra salt… Hope his plant produces a bunch

I cook on high but use peanut oil, never try high with olive oil – that’s why it was not working for you. EVOO does not have a high enough burn rate, they going bac and watching more videos on the science of cooking!

In reply to Kate. Loved them! Used much less oil then I usually do, and it did not smoke up the house:) Everyone thanks you!

A bag of these showed up unexpectedly in my CSA box this week. I found your (super easy) recipe and my husband and I devoured the whole batch right out of the skillet. Delish!

In reply to Joe S. Hi Joe, the lemon olive oil sounds lovely! So glad this technique worked for you.

I had to try this with a bunch of shishito pepper I picked from my plant. I lightly coated them with Mazzone fused lemon olive oil, blistered them in a dry hot skillet, salted with sea salt, and served. The hint of lemon and saltiness is perfect for my taste. Thank you for this great way to fix my shishitos.

Never tried them before. This was the perfect introduction. We loved them!

I have a farm subscription and received a lot of shishito peppers. I had no idea what to do with them. This recipe was easy and delicious! Thank you so much!!
