Ingredients

  • 1/2 dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 cayenne pepper

Cook's notes

  • Toast your whole spices lightly in a dry pan before grinding for a deeper, more aromatic flavor profile.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper quantity if you prefer a milder spice level.
  • Use high-quality smoked paprika to achieve that authentic Cajun 'charred' essence without needing a grill.

Easy swaps

  • Swap smoked paprika for regular sweet paprika if you prefer a less smoky flavor.
  • If you are sodium-conscious, reduce or omit the salt and increase the garlic powder for a flavor punch.
  • Add a pinch of dried oregano or thyme to round out the earthy notes.
