This is a copycat recipe for the Prairie Dust spice mix the Longhorn Steakhouse uses in many of its dishes. It has a nice complex flavor with a little heat, and is perfect on steak, chicken, eggs, seafood, veggies, and baked potatoes. It’s a great seasoning to keep on hand. Just make a good-sized batch and keep it in an air-tight container. Oh, and don’t hesitate to sprinkle it on burgers just before you grill them! Like I said, it’s great on everything!
The recipe for copycat Longhorn Steakhouse Prairie Dust mix makes just a few tablespoons of mix. I usually make a much bigger batch and keep it in the pantry in an air-tight container. I write the date on the container (using a marker and blue painter’s tape) so I know when I made it. Spice mixes can usually last at least 6 months. Not that it’ll actually last that long…
I usually add this seasoning to flour and deep-fry shrimp in it. When they’re done, and still hot, I season them a bit more. You can also use this on hamburgers, before and after cooking. And also wings! Yep, wings!

Got Seasonings?
You have to take care of your dry seasonings. In return, they’ll take care of you by always being ready the next time you need them! Protect seasonings from the four main enemies of flavor: heat, light, air, and moisture. Never store them above the stove or oven, where steam and temperature swings cause caking and quick degradation. If you have a problem with high humidity causing your dry seasonings to cake, try adding a silica gel packet to the containers to remove moisture.
I made a fantastic copycat version of Longhorn Steakhouse’s Wild West Shrimp with this mix. The shrimp had a wonderful flavor. They sure didn’t last long.
