How to Make Cajun Chops
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder.
- Generously coat both sides of 4 (4-ounce) pork chops with the Cajun spice mixture.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until the butter is melted and shimmering.
- Add the pork chops to the skillet and reduce heat to medium-high. Sear for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.
- Flip the chops only once during cooking for even browning and maximum juiciness.
- To make ahead/freeze: Place seasoned chops in a freezer-safe zip-top bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
- To reheat from frozen: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Cook according to steps 3-5, adding a few minutes to the cooking time as needed.
