Shishito peppers can be found in the produce section of some supermarkets. Trader Joe's, Sprouts, and Whole Foods also carry them. They can also be purchased online.

These are best served nice and hot right out of the skillet, but they are still incredibly tasty even after they've cooled off.

The recipe can be doubled or tripled if serving to a crowd. We recommend doing them in batches. Folks enjoy watching them become blistered as you sear them in the skillet.
