Ingredients

Scale

Spices

  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tablespoon white pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried thyme (optional for extra depth)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, add all the spices including paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, white pepper, and dried thyme if using. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly blended to create a uniform seasoning blend.
  2. Store the Seasoning: Transfer the mixed seasoning into an airtight spice jar or container. Store it in a cool, dry place to maintain its freshness and potency over time.
  3. Use and Serve: Shake or stir the seasoning before each use to ensure even distribution of flavors. Sprinkle generously on meats, seafood, vegetables, fries, or add to soups and stews to infuse your dishes with a bold, Cajun-style flavor.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the heat level; reduce for milder flavor or increase for spicier results.
  • This seasoning blend is salt-forward like the original Slap Ya Mama, so consider reducing salt in your recipes when using this spice mix if you want tighter control over sodium content.
