THE BEST CAJUN SPICE RUB

THE BEST CAJUN SPICE RUB 3 tbsp paprika 3 tbsp smoked paprika 3 tbsp onion powder 2 tbsp garlic powder 1 tbsp chili powder 2 tbsp dried oregano 2 tbsp dried basil 1½ tbsp ground thyme ½ tbsp crushed chili flakes 1 tbsp cayenne pepper 1 tbsp coarsely ground black pepper 1 tbsp white pepper 1 tbsp celery salt 2 tbsp kosher salt Just mix all of the ingredients together until completely blended. I usually blend mine together in a food processor which enures the ingredients are well mixed. If you want, you can process the mixture for a few minutes to break down the larger pieces of herbs and pepper to make it easily pass through a spice shaker. I find this particularly useful when saving some of the rub as a seasoning for burgers or even hot french fries fresh out of the fryer.
