If the rub tastes flat, increase the salt to your liking.

That depends on how old your herb/spice is!

Store this spice rub in an airtight container in a dark pantry, clearly labeled with the date.

If your spices arent quite that fresh, the rub wont last as long.

Its also great on shellfish like shrimp, crab, or scallops.
