⅓ Pound Shishito Peppers
1 - 1½ Tablespoons Olive Oil
¼ of Whole Lemon
Sea Salt
Furikake*
You don't have to use Furikake. You could toss in red pepper flake or just about any seasoning powder you like and that would pair well with green peppers. But you definitely want to use crunchy sea salt.

Steps:

Rinse and clean peppers (leave stems attached). Pour oil into heavy skillet (preferably cast iron). Heat over medium high heat. Once oil is hot, carefully add peppers to the pan and let sit for a couple of minutes. Carefully toss the peppers every 2-3 minutes until skins are charred and blistered to your liking. (Be careful tossing peppers as they will spit and hiss and hot oil will be kind of flying all over.) Once done to your liking, squeeze lemon over top of peppers in the pan. Remove peppers to serving bowl and toss with salt and Furikake seasoning (or whatever type of seasoning you'll be using). Serve
