Emeril's Essence

It’s not only a great accent for meats, poultry and seafood, but is also delicious on grilled or roasted veggies! And if you’re looking for a thoughtful homemade gift, just place it in a pretty little jar with a label and ribbon – it’s a definite favourite.

2 Tbsp. fine sea salt
2 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. black pepper, freshly ground
1 Tbsp. onion powder
1 Tbsp. ground cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp. dried oregano
