1 lb shishito peppers, washed and thoroughly dried

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce

1 tsp toasted sesame oil

Juice from one lime or lemon

1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish

Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange peppers in an even layer on the skillet. Cook the peppers, turning occasionally, until they charred and blistered, about 8 minutes total. In the last couple of minutes of cooking, drizzle tamari and toasted sesame oil on peppers. Remove from heat. Spritz with the lime juice and taste.

Transfer to a large plate and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve immediately. Peppers can also be grilled outside on a grill pan
