Blackened Seasoning
Blackened seasoning is smoky, spicy, and the perfect spice rub for chicken, fish, or shrimp. It only takes a few minutes to make, and is so much better than what you'll find at the store.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl.
- Stir until the mixture is well combined.
- Transfer the blackened seasoning to an airtight jar to store.
Notes
Storage: Store blackened seasoning in an airtight container, out of direct sunlight, for up to a year.
Heat: Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to make the spice blend less spicy, but don't omit it entirely. It adds a lot of flavor.
Fresh: For best results, use herbs and spices that you purchased recently, as they'll lose their flavor the older they get.
