A zesty blackened seasoning with extra paprika, mixed in a bag in minutes. Sprinkle it on chicken, fish, shrimp or potatoes, or pack it in a small jar for gifting.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon sage

Directions

  • Put all the spices in a small zip-top bag.
  • Close it and shake until well combined.
  • Pour into a small spice jar, bottle, or vacuum-seal bag for storing or gifting.

Notes

Pat chicken, fish, shrimp, pork chops, potatoes, or vegetables dry and sprinkle generously just before cooking: about 1 teaspoon per pound for chicken or heartier proteins, 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon per pound for thin fish fillets. Milder version: reduce cayenne to 1/2 teaspoon. Airtight, cool, dry, dark; up to 6 months; replace if dull, clumped, or faded; use a dry spoon.
