Adapted from: Gimme Some Oven – Cajun Seasoning

Ingredients and Equipment

3 tablespoons cayenne

3 tablespoons paprika

7-10 kernels fresh black peppercorn, ground

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tablespoon oregano

1 tablespoon salt

1/2 tablespoon thyme

Directions

Mix everything together. If using fresh peppercorn, grind it with a mortar and pestle first. Otherwise, a tablespoon of black pepper will work fine.

This has a bit more “kick” thanks to the cayenne, so feel free to adjust.

Uses:

• Jambalaya
• Dry rub for fish
• Dry rub for ribs
• Ingredient for breading

I’m pretty happy with this. I’m glad I did the extra cayenne and reduced the salt. It’s a bit extra spicy without being over-powering.
