One of my favorite appetizers is Shishito Peppers – they’re mostly sweet but about one in every ten is spicy. And the heat isn’t unbearable, but it’s a little bit like Russian Roulette to eat them with other people and not know if you will get any spicy ones, or worse, if you get five spicy ones in a row. I was having a few friends over and I knew this would be a fun appetizer to make in my Cast Iron Skillet. I also really wanted a reason to use my new spices. Aromasong sent me some beautiful spices and I knew the Fiery Dragon would pair perfectly with my favorite peppers. Not only were these delicious, they were so easy and fun to enjoy.
