  • 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.
