Just 10 minutes and four ingredients to the most delicious blistered shishito peppers ever - just like at a restaurant!
Shishito peppers are one of my absolute favorite things.
I love the giant bowls of shishitos I get at my new favorite local taco shop- or at sushi restaurants.
Shishito peppers are salty, smoky, a little tangy - and while they are generally really mild, you'll once and a while get a spicy stunner. I love the really hot ones- but they are pretty rare. Just be careful when tucking into a huge bowl, because there can be some hot ones hiding!
One of my favorite twists on shishitos comes from a new local taco shop in Longmont near my home- they lightly sprinkle the peppers with cumin (and maybe chili powder??)- I can (and have) literally eat the entire monster basket myself.
Their tacos are soooo good too, but the peppers totally have my heart.
Sweet + heat - flor de Jamaica cocktail with edible orchid and blistered shishedo peppers. Aka the fastest way to my heart. Super excited to find such delicious tacos nearby in Longmont!! ??? @hefeslongmont #sweetcs #foodblogger #travelblogger #eeeeeats #feedfeed #forkyeah #cheers #happyhour #taco #tacos #northerncolorado #longmont #colorado #eat#food #instayum #foodphotography #drinks #yummy #foodporn #food #cocktails

My top secret is using La Tourangelle Asian Stir Fry Oil - it has hints of garlic, ginger, and onion in the oil. It is also made to hold up to high heat, so it won't burn!
I also like to sprinkle the peppers with a tiny bit of cumin - its a lovely smoky addition to the blistered peppers. You could add all sorts of spices to change the flavor a bit, and see what you like!
If you can't find shishito peppers, I have always had great luck with Whole Foods- and they are a good price.
