What Spices Go Well With Shrimp?
There are countless ways to season shrimp. For this recipe, we use a mixture of chipotle chile powder, paprika, cumin and garlic powder. It's slightly spicy, smoky and savory. Feel free to experiment with other spices, such as ancho chile powder and smoked paprika.
Benefits of Making Your Own Shrimp Seasoning
Many packaged seasonings are high in sodium and may contain preservatives and anti-caking agents. Making your own shrimp seasoning at home gives you control over the ingredients to make them healthier.
How To Use Shrimp Seasoning
Try grilled blackened shrimp tacos, grilled shrimp tostadas or bbq shrimp with shrimp calas griddlecakes. You can even use the seasoning on chicken, fish, beef and vegetables. Make salmon tacos with pineapple salsa, sprinkle it on blistered broccoli with garlic and chiles or make chile-lime peanuts!
