Ingredients

Instructions

  • Stir 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 2 ½ teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 ¼ teaspoon dried oregano, 1 ¼ teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes together and store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Cajun spice rub can be stored in an airtight container for at least 3 months. No need to refrigerate.
  • Increase or decrease the cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes to your liking but I don't recommend leaving them out completely. At least a good dash of cayenne adds a nice complexity to the mix without adding heat.
