: Smoked paprika, which adds both a rich red color and a deep, woody smokiness.
Don't just sprinkle it on dry. Mix 1 tablespoon of seasoning with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Rub this onto your meat 30 minutes before cooking. The oil helps the spices bloom and the fresh lemon amplifies the dried citrus in the blend.
This is not a "sprinkle on everything" seasoning (like Everything Bagel seasoning), but it dominates the category it sits in.
: Lemon zest, amchur (dry mango powder), or citric acid provides the essential sharp, citrusy "zing" that cuts through fats.
