	Emeril Lagasse's Essence ¾ Cup

	Qty	Size	Ingredient	Emeril would find himself using a lot of the same spices, and pretty much in the same quantities, in many of the dishes that he would make. So, to save time, he would mix up this concoction of flavors ahead of time and use it as an "ingredient" in his dishes. Many of his recipes will contain this "single" ingredient as simply, "1 tbls Essence". Emeril often suggested to the viewers of his show to create their own spice blends that reflect their personal tastes and be unafraid to use them to customize the dishes he would teach.
	2½	tbls	Sweet Paprika
	2	tbls	Kosher Salt
