Shishito peppers, known for their mild, smoky flavor, make an amazing appetizer when blistered and served with a sprinkle of sea salt. A bit of olive oil, high heat pan and salt are all you need to make a fun dish. 1 out of 10 shishito peppers is said to be spicy. Often times we only get the mild ones. But it makes it fun to sometimes get a spicy pepper!
