Blackening Seasoning Tips
Blackening seasoning varies in flavor and heat intensity. I use Zatarain’s because I like the flavor. It is a little milder which is great because I’m not always a fan of super spicy food. I just add more when I do want to bring on the heat. Find a brand with the flavor you like and then learn how much to add for your taste buds. If you get a different brand the next time you may find that you need to use a different amount for the same result.
