Calories 28kcal
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons sweet smoked paprika (try the Hungarian variety)
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 3 teaspoons white pepper (reduce to 2 teaspoons, if desired)
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 3 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 3 teaspoons dried thyme
- 3 teaspoons mild chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (reduce to 1/2 or 1/4 teaspoon to reduce the heat even more)
Instructions
- Add all the spices to a small bowl or a jar with a lid. Stir or shake up until blended.
- Dust or rub onto chicken, shrimp, salmon or even pork before grilling or roasting.
Notes
This spice blend keeps for about one year in an airtight container, when stored in a cool, dark place.
Feel free to reduce the spicy ingredients (cayenne and white pepper) and replace the amounts with additional paprika or mild chili powder if desired.
