Ingredients
- 8 ounces Shishito peppers, cleaned and thoroughly dried
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Spicy Lemon Dipping Sauce (see recipe below)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
- 2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the peppers to a large bowl, add the vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and toss to combine. When the pan is very hot, but not smoking, add enough peppers to cover the base of the pan. It’s important not to overcrowd the pan to ensure every pepper gets blistered. Let the peppers sit in the pan undisturbed until they start to blister in spots, 30 to 45 seconds. Toss and continue to cook the peppers, stirring frequently, until they are evenly blistered and slightly soft, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer the peppers to a plate and continue the process if you have any additional peppers.
- Serve warm with spicy lemon dipping sauce.
- Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, horseradish, whole grain mustard, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper to a small bowl then whisk to combine.

Reviews
Valerie’s recipes are consistently good, and this appetizer does not disappoint. I like to add a touch more horseradish because we like the extra heat, but other than that I make the recipe as directed. Chef’s kiss, Valerie!!
These are delicious and quick. I have made then a couple of times already. Yummy! Thanks Valerie.
This is a new staple in our home. The sauce was amazing and goes well with steak too.
Awesome flavor all the way around. Easy and delicious. Definitely will make over and over again!
These were fun and delicious to eat. The sauce is amazing, and I will be making that again for dipping all kinds of other food!
The spicy lemon sauce is a fun twist on what is usually served with shishito peppers. It’s going into the rotation for dipping all sorts of things.
Delicious!
