  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme

Notes

Creole seasoning is herb-forward and balanced, not overly spicy
Reduce cayenne for a mild blend or increase for extra heat
Smoked paprika can replace half the paprika for a smoky version
For low-sodium diets, reduce or omit salt and season dishes separately
Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months
Label the jar with the date for freshness tracking
Use 1–2 teaspoons per pound of meat, seafood, or vegetables
