Tasty Tip:
Shishito Peppers are a small finger long pepper that turns from green to red. It is usually harvested while still green. Only 1 in 10 peppers are spicy. You can prepare them many ways, grilled, pan fried, stewed or eaten raw. The literal Japanese translation refers to the tip of the pepper that looks like the head of a lion, Shishi, often abbreviated in Japanese as Shishito.
