SPICY CORN AND SHISHITO SALAD
In this recipe, shishito peppers are sliced, lightly sautéed, then tossed with raw summer corn and a cumin-lime vinaigrette for a summer salad that's crunchy, smoky and a little spicy. Traditionally used in Japanese and Korean cooking, shishitos are small, thin-skinned green peppers that have become increasingly popular in the United States. They are typically mild in flavor, but the occasional pepper packs a spicy punch. If you can't find them, use diced green bell peppers in their place. Finally, cilantro-averse cooks can substitute fresh mint.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil with the lime juice, cumin and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in the red onion and garlic and set aside until ready to use. (Do this step first so the onions and garlic have time to mellow slightly in the dressing.)
- Place the corn kernels in a large bowl and set aside. In a medium (10-inch) sauté pan, heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the shishitos, jalapeño and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender and beginning to brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Add the peppers and dressing to the bowl with the corn and toss well. Add the cheese, if using, and toss. Garnish with cilantro.
SEARED SHISHITO PEPPERS WITH CORN AND JAPANESE CURRY
Japanese curry paste both flavors and thickens a simply made, buttery sauce for corn kernels and shishito peppers in this colorful vegetable sauté from the Houston chef Chris Shepherd. It's an intense, rich side dish for roast chicken, pork or a full-flavored fish like salmon or mackerel. If it's not corn season, substitute frozen corn and shave a minute or two off the cooking time. In either case this dish comes together in a flash.

SPICY FRESH CORN SALAD
I was gifted some Cajun-flavored mayonnaise and wasn't sure what to do with it until I spotted fresh corn at the grocery store. I thought the sweetness of the corn would contrast nicely with the spicy mayonnaise, and I was right! Serve with grilled or fried shrimp, or with any summery chicken dish.

Steps:
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

- When roasting the corn and shishito peppers, be sure to toss them in oil to help them crisp up. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, or any other high-heat oil.

- To make the dressing, simply whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, and Sriracha sauce. You can adjust the amount of Sriracha sauce to taste.
- Serve the salad immediately after assembling it. The corn and shishito peppers are best enjoyed warm.
