Bayou Blast

Overview

I can not take credit for this one. It is found in many of Emeril Lagasse’s recipes by the name of Emeril’s ESSENCE. I normally make batches that are fairly close to the original, but usually add a little twist.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano (oregano powder)
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Prep:

Mix all ingredients thoroughly.

Use:

Makes enough to fill a regular sized spice jar. I like to use empty McCormick 2.12oz Course Ground Black Pepper jars, for the 2 different pour methods. Store and use as any other spice.

Good for seasoning, beef, pork, fish, chicken or just about anything else.

Variants:

Substitute 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Substitute 1 tablespoon chili powder
Substitute 1 tablespoon curry powder
Substitute 1 tablespoon ground mustard
