How to Use Spicy Garlic Dust: Easy Recipes and Unexpected Flavor Upgrades

 So You Got Spicy Garlic Dust, What Now?

 


It's like the original, but different.  Just a lil kick added.


Spicy Garlic Dust has the flavor but a nice little kick on the backend for those who want some added interest. If you love our garlic dust but like my teen, want a little extra umph on the plate, this is what you grab.  And it hits the spot without going overboard. It's bold, punchy, and the dried jalapeño powder gives it that low-simmer heat that plays well with everything from tacos to tuna salad.

 

 

 

 Flavor With Heat:

 

  • Shake onto fries or potato wedges for that spicy, salty crunch

  • Rub onto salmon—its richness holds up beautifully to the heat

  • Toss with shrimp or chicken (try it in our Garlicky Shrimp Pasta)

  • Mix into mac and cheese* or even macaroni salad*

  • Stir into soups, seasoned rice, or chili* (or go bold with this Southern Dirty Rice)

  • Sprinkle on pan-fried chicken thighs for quick fajitas or soft tacos (or try these Spicy Shrimp Tacos)

  • Use on roasted tomatoes or tomatillos*

  • Season a cucumber salad with balsamic and EVOO

  • Mix into tuna salad* for a garlicky kick that wakes it up

  • Toss into quinoa bowls for a protein-packed side with heat (check out this Spicy Garlic Dust Quinoa)

 

 

 

 

Tasty Tin-Approved Pairings:

 

 

  • Spicy Crab Linguine – blue crab meat, EVOO, and fresh garlic or Christopher Ranch garlic, tossed with

    San Giorgio Pasta or

    Del Cecco Linguine

  • Jambalaya – bring the heat to this New Orleans classic with our Jammin' Jambalaya recipe

  • Melt into butter for spicy corn on the cob

  • Mix with mayo or sour cream for a fast, spicy dip

  • Dust it on popcorn, pizza, or avocado toast

  • Take it further with our Avocado Smash — creamy, spicy, and ready in minutes

  • Mix 1/2 stick of butter with 1 tsp of Spicy Garlic Dust and melt into your next bowl of ramen

 

 

 

Spicy Garlic Dust turns up the heat without burning the bridge. It's all flavor, a little fire, and way more versatile than you'd expect.
