Notes
- Paprika: Both sweet and smoked paprika work here.
- Salt: Add salt to taste; 2 tablespoons is my sweet spot for this Creole Seasoning mix. You can also omit the salt entirely and add it to individual dishes as you go, if you prefer.
- Cayenne pepper: Crank the heat up or down by adding more or less cayenne pepper. Leave this out if you don’t dig spicy food.
- Yield: This Creole Seasoning recipe makes ¾ cup seasoning.
- Storage: Store covered in a dark, cool place for up to 6 months.
