Grilled Shishito Peppers on a Stick

Splash lemon before eating

When I sowed the seeds of the shishito peppers this spring, I had this picture in my head of making the yakitori-style shishito peppers on a stick with a slice of lemon on the side. Typical yakitori restaurants should carry this item to accompany your grilled meats on a stick. If you could get hands on gourmet salt, like flavored salt or special sea salt, this simple grilled peppers will become fancy small bites for your next party. If you prefer, a drizzle of soy sauce instead of salt can make them just as tasty.

Some people like a plate of cheese and meat with a glass of beer. I choose the grilled shishito peppers on a stick over that any day!
