shishito pepper dipping sauce recipe

Introducing the best dipping sauce for Shishito peppers, which is super easy and even better than the restaurant’s. It's creamy, delicious, infused with rich flavors, and excellent to serve with any roasted peppers. 

This Shishito dipping sauce is a delectable wonder that is also versatile. Serve it as a side or drizzle it over the salad. I enjoy witnessing the party dishes that get ready effortlessly and quickly.  

If you ask me what do you eat Shishito peppers with? My straight answer would be this spicy dipping sauce- our family's favorite.

It's a tailor-made recipe for gameday, get-togethers, and tailgate parties, and this dipping sauce for Shishito peppers perfectly fits in as a family munching time recipe, like this Cajun butter sauce.

Are you tired of buying the bottled dipping sauce from the stores? How about making it at home? That's a custom-made spicy condiment to suit our personal preference, which could save you some money. It's interesting, right?

Let's dig in deep to learn about the dipping sauce for Shishito pepper’s ingredients, substitutes, make-ahead ideas, best serving methods, and the dishes to pair up with.

How To Make The Dipping Sauce For Shishito Peppers?

This dipping sauce for Shishito peppers is simple. And the best part is that it's a no-cook sauce recipe. You can simply mix all the ingredients together or just make in front of your guests-it's that simple it is, same as this jalapeno sour cream dip, Cajun aioli, curry aioli.

The Ingredients And Substitutes

  • Mayonnaise. I have used light mayonnaise, however, you may choose the original mayonnaise, avocado oil mayo, or the vegan mayonnaise depending upon your dietary restrictions.  
  • Sriracha sauce. It gives a pungent flavor and a tangy taste that is perfect to add with mayonnaise. And this combination works the best with roasted Shishito peppers. But, if you do not have Sriracha at home, you may substitute it with hot sauce and a quarter teaspoon of Cayenne pepper. If you want to mellow the heat further, use the hot sauce with a quarter teaspoon of paprika.
  • Garlic powder. A flavor enhancer that improves the texture of the dipping sauce as well. 
  • Minced garlic. Nothing can beat the fresh garlic’s aroma and the zing it adds to a dish. I highly suggest adding garlic powder and minced garlic to this Dipping sauce for Shishito peppers.
  • Lemon juice. Adds acidity and balances the other co-ingredients. And slightly liquifies this spicy dipping sauce.
  • Red pepper flakes. I have added roasted red pepper flakes, which give the dipping sauce a robust flavor and add a touch of spiciness.

The Recipe Direction

  • To make the dipping sauce for Shishito peppers, add the mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, garlic powder, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to a small mixing bowl.
  • Whisk vigorously until all the ingredients combine. 
  • And serve as a side for the roasted Shishito peppers.

Best to serve with

  • As a side. We already know that this spicy Shishito dipping sauce is excellent with roasted Shishito peppers or stuffed Shishito peppers. You know what? It's also excellent to serve as a dip for roasted jalapeño peppers, roasted mini peppers, or any of your choice.
  • Additionally, it’s delicious to serve with chicken wings or good to serve as a crab, similar to this Maryland crab dip.
  • As a drizzle. Want to spice up your salad(like this spicy kale salad) quickly? This dipping sauce is here to help.
  • As a glaze. Toss it with grilled meat or slather over grilled salmon or chicken. And enjoy the feast.
  • As a topping. Smear over the best burger or the sandwich and feel the difference. And think of dishes like fish tacos.
