Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoon cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl.
  • Mix well, taste and adjust according to your personal preference.

Notes

To lend the seasoning a bit of a smoky flavor, use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
If you want to bring in a bit of sweetness into this piri-piri spice mix, you can also add some brown sugar into the mix. 
You can also use a spoonful of this mix with some mayonnaise to turn it into a nice fry dip.
The best way to store peri peri seasoning is to transfer it to an airtight container and place it in a cool, dark place. I usually make a big jar and place it in my pantry or cupboard.  
Remember that this peri peri spice mix, unlike the store-bought version, does not have any additive or preservative agents, which means you’ll need to use an airtight jar to store it and to preserve its flavor and freshness.
