Emeril's Bayou Blast (AKA "Essence" or "BAM!")

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 Tbs. paprika
  
• 2 Tbs. salt
  
• 2 Tbs. garlic powder
  
• 1 Tbs. black pepper
  
• 1 Tbs. onion powder
  
• 1 Tbs. ground cayenne pepper
  
• 1 Tbs. dried oregano
  
• 1 Tbs. dried thyme
  

Prep:
Combine all ingredients. Makes about 1/2 cup. I find it works best in a shaker bottle so you can control the amount used!
