Add the perfect amount of hot, smoky flavor and great red color to any dish. Use to season cuts of meat like beef, chicken, pork, and fish. Add hot paprika to homemade BBQ rubs or chili powder blends for an extra spicy kick. Try hot, smoked paprika in recipes with beans, chickpeas, spinach, and potatoes, or mix into soups and stews. Around a 4-5 in overall heat level.
