Grilled Shishito Peppers With Soy Aioli Recipes

GRILLED SESAME-SOY SHISHITO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic in a large bowl. Add shishito peppers and toss to combine. Let marinate for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing occasionally.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and heat a grill pan.
• Remove peppers from marinade, letting excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Place peppers on the grill pan and cook, tossing every 1 to 2 minutes, until evenly charred, 5 to 7 minutes. Return peppers to bowl with marinade and toss. Sprinkle with salt, if desired, and serve.

GRILLED COCONUT SHRIMP WITH SHISHITO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Stir together garlic, lime zest, soy sauce, and ¼ cup oil in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Add ½ cup coconut and toss again to coat. Let sit while grill heats, at least 5 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
• Prepare a grill for high heat, lightly oil grate.
• Carefully arrange shrimp in an even layer on grate. Grill, carefully turning halfway through, until opaque and lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Some of the coconut will fall off in the process, and that's okay. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Grill peppers, turning occasionally and being careful not to let them fall through grate, until lightly charred all over, about 6 minutes. Transfer to platter with shrimp.
• Top shrimp and peppers with basil, drizzle with lime juice, and sprinkle with sea salt and more coconut.
