Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon paprika sweet
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon thyme dried
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt Morton brand
- 1 teaspoon black pepper cracked
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Combine all of the spices in a small bowl. Transfer the blackening seasoning to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place for up to 4 months.
Notes
- To blacken fish, shrimp, chicken, etc.: Dredge or brush the protein in melted butter, then season generously with blackened seasoning. Heat a cast iron skillet to medium-high heat, then add the seasoned protein. The goal is a dark, crusty char on both sides. Depending on the protein and its size, this usually only takes a few minutes per side. Shrimp will take less time, chicken will require more time.
