Blistered Shishito Peppers and Dipping Sauce are a summer treat that can be served as a snack or side dish. Stir up the sweet, sour, salty and savory condiment in just a minute.
In medium bowl, whisk garlic, mayonnaise, fish sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, honey and red pepper flakes until smooth.
Heat vegetable oil in large cast iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and allow them to cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes or until they start to blister.
Stir once and allow to cook, undisturbed, for 2 more minutes or until blistered on all sides.
Remove peppers from heat and sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
Notes
Just like I found out with my blistered tomatoes, it turns out that blistering shishito peppers on the stove can sometimes get a little smoky, too. I recommend opening a kitchen window before you begin blistering the peppers.
Better yet, if your grill has a side burner on it, cook the blistered shishito peppers outside!
