***Smoked Paprika Rub***
 
Seems I went down some rabbit hole and found this recipe. All I can say is wow, I have used this for all meats, chicken, pork and even shrimp.  It is a great rub.

Believe it or not, I found the Smoked Paprika at a local Wally World.  Go figure.  It is the key ingredient. 

Smoked Paprika is one of those spices that adds that special touch to anything.on the grill.

Ingredients:

    2 tablespoons brown sugar

    2 tablespoons sea salt

    2 tablespoons smoked paprika (start with less your first time and adjust to your taste!)

    1 tablespoon black pepper

    1 tablespoon garlic powder or salt

    1 tablespoon onion powder or salt

Instructions:

In a bowl combine all the spices and mix well.

Transfer to a spice jar, or mason jar, and store in a cool, dry, dark space until needed.

When using coat your meat first with some oil. Then sprinkle the rub over top and rub it into the meat. Make sure it gets everywhere.

Cover the meat and pop in the fridge for a couple of hours, or overnight if you want a really intense smoky flavor.

Make sure you take the meat out of the fridge about 30 minutes before grilling. Do not grill cold meat.

Notes: Start with less and work your way up. So start small and work your way to the perfect amount for you and your family.

To make a sauce from the rub, add water, a little oil or melted butter and use it to baste the meat three-quarters of the way through grilling.
