Wow wow wow I had about a million of these peppers and made this recipe and it was delicious. I could have eaten all of them with that perfect peanut sauce.

I JUST made this with some of our fresh shishitos from the garden. Modifications: I tossed the raw peppers in a bit of sesame oil before putting them in the pan. After they were done I sprinkled with Hawaiian lava salt (the best stuff ever) and the sesame seeds. DELICIOUS! Thank you for your recipe!

This was an awesome and quick side to an Asian inspired dinner. I had some Shishito peppers I needed to use up and loved the idea of doing a quick stove top method instead of an outside grill. Loved the sesame oil drizzle and the peanut sauce to go with too.

We top our peppers with Everything but the bagel seasoning. Yummy!

In reply to em. Hi Em, I wash and dry them, that's it! When you bite into a pepper, just hold onto the stem and discard it.

A friend introduced me to shishito peppers just last year. She grew her own, and the plants are, apparently, quite prolific, so I was gifted a lot of them all season.

I made them on my grill pan (indoors) with olive oil and sriracha-infused salt on them last year, This year, I doused them with a smoky barrel-aged balsamic vinegar. I tried this recipe and liked them this way, too! Always nice to have options . . .

I’ve seen them offered at Whole Foods, but they’re also available at our local farmers’ markets. Great to be able to “Buy Fresh/Buy Local.”
