Blackening Seasoning

1 1/2 Tablespoons Paprika
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
1 teaspoon Onion Powder 
3/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder 
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper 
1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1/4 teaspoon Sugar (optional)
1/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

Combine all ingredients in an airtight container


How to Use

This method works with chicken, shrimp, fish, tofu, and many other proteins.

Combine seasoning with a cooking fat (melted butter, neutral oil, or mayonnaise)

Coat protein on all sides in the seasoning-fat mixture. You can cook it right away or marinate it, refrigerated, for up to a day.

Brush a skillet or grill with cooking oil or melted butter.

Sear protein until a dark crust appears on both sides and the protein is cooked through.
