Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sweet or smoked paprika or a combination of the two
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper*
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined.2 tablespoons sweet or smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 ½ teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper*, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Seasoning can be used immediately or stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
Notes
- Spice Level: I'd describe this as medium-spicy. For less spice, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper. For more spice increase the cayenne.
- Makes about 5 tablespoons of seasoning. This is enough to generously season 8 (4-6 ounce) salmon fillets or 8 chicken breasts/thighs. To season shrimp, use about 1 tablespoon of seasoning per pound of shrimp.
