Blackening Spice

I'm not sure why or how, but somewhere along the way my brain interpreted "blackened" as burnt. I'm happy to report that is obviously not the case. In a recent trip to the coast, I tried my husband's blackened fish and it was AWESOME. I'm pretty inexperienced with Cajun/Creole cooking and it gave me yet another food culture with which to fall in love.

Its a super easy recipe and you probably have most, if not all, the ingredients already in your spice cabinet!

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp paprika

• 1 tbsp smoked paprika

• 1/2 tsp cayenne

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1 tsp ground black pepper

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp dried thyme

• 1/2 tsp dried Greek oregano

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir until combined. Store in an airtight container.
