- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano

Notes
Pat the food dry and season it just before cooking, about 1 to 2 teaspoons per pound of chicken, fish, shrimp, or pork, to taste. Store airtight in a cool, dry cupboard away from steam for up to about 1 year. Gift idea: a small jar with a handwritten label.
