Blistered Shishito Peppers with Chipotle-Garlic Aioli
This is another recipe I am recreating from the weekend away with my sisters. While at lunch in Portland, we ordered some blistered shishito peppers with a chipotle sauce that were amazing! We devoured the plateful in minutes and we all happily would have eaten more. My kids and I had some friends over this afternoon so I whipped these blistered peppers up. They tasted amazing and disappeared quickly. I really love the smokey flavor the chipotle adds to the sauce–it pairs nicely with the tasty peppers.
How to Make Blistered Shishito Peppers with Chipotle-Garlic Aioli
Make the chipotle-garlic aioli by combining the mayonnaise, adobo sauce, to taste, and minced garlic together; mix well and set aside to allow flavors to mingle.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shishito peppers and cook, stirring often, for 7-10 minutes, or until the peppers are all blistered and softened. Season well with sea salt and a squeeze of fresh lime juice, to taste. Serve immediately with the chipotle-garlic aioli. Enjoy.

Shishito peppers are wonderful! Love them. Never tried them with a chipotle-garlic aioli before, but I will. 🙂 Thanks!
My pepper allergies are keeping me away, but I think it’s wonderful that you found some new favorites during your Sister Weekend, and are able to recreate them so well!
This makes a really nice appetizer. I don’t think these peppers are sold in my area but I will check.
We just made some Shishito peppers and they were all so HOT!! Usually we get 1 or 2 hot ones, but these were all pretty hot… definitely slowed down our intake of peppers and increased our milk consumption.
Next time I’m going to try the Chipotle Aioli.
Those peppers are so adorable! And I am sure they taste great too.
Would you believe a bag of un-named peppers that look just like these showed up at our house yesterday courtesy of Cindy.
I could eat these for a meal on their own! The chipotle aioli sounds magical.
looks like a very satisfying appetizer to me! i don’t think i’ve ever noticed those peppers in the store, but then again, i’ve never been looking for them!
