Blistered Shishito Peppers

Instructions

Preheat a large cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat (see note).

When the pan is very hot, add the oil and shishitos (see note), and sprinkle with salt.

Let the peppers cook for 2 to 3 minutes without moving them, until they start to blister and char on one side.

Once they are blistered on one side, toss the peppers or stir them around the pan to char on the other sides, another 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove the peppers from the skillet and sprinkle them with lemon and additional salt if desired. Serve immediately.
