Cajun Spices for Gumbo

I've lost track of the number of boondoggle conferences I've gone to in New Orleans just so I could spend time perfecting this combination of spices...

These are the spices to use for Gumbo.

Ingredients

6 t Paprika
2 t Cumin
1 t Cayenne Pepper
3 (3") Stalks Fresh Rosemary (leaves chopped fine)
5 (2") Stalks Fresh Thyme (leaves chopped fine)
Red Pepper Flakes
Black Pepper
Salt

Directions

Take all of your spices and the corn meal, and mix together in a bowl with your fingers. Yields about 8 tablespoons.
