Piri Piri Seasoning - Spicy African Pepper Grilling Spice
Piri-Piri means "pepper-pepper" in Swahili and refers to a hot, tangy seasoning blend built around African bird's eye chili peppers. It's a widely loved grilling spice across Africa, Portugal, and Europe, most famous for flavoring grilled or roasted chicken (Piri-Piri chicken), but it also works well on fish, shrimp, and vegetables. The blend delivers a spicy, slightly citrusy heat that's dry-rubbed or mixed into a marinade before cooking. It's a good pick for anyone who enjoys spicy food and wants an easy way to add authentic African-Portuguese heat to weeknight dinners or barbecues.
How to use: Rub generously onto chicken, fish, or vegetables before grilling, roasting, or pan-searing; can also be mixed with oil and lemon juice for a marinade.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed, away from direct sunlight.
