Tips and Techniques
- Adjust the cayenne pepper to suit your own taste. If you are using this blackening spice in a recipe that calls for Cajun spice, you may want to increase the cayenne, as Cajun spice typically has more heat to it.
- Adjust the regular and smoked paprika to suit your own tastes.
- Blackening seasoning will keep in an airtight container in a cool dark place until the earliest expiration date on the spices used.
