What is Smoked Paprika? Can I use regular Paprika?
Smoked Paprika is made of chile peppers, that have been smoked. So, it has a nice smoky flavor with a bit of heat.
Regular Paprika is made from sweet peppers that don’t have heat.
It is not recommended that regular paprika is used for this recipe, because the smoke and subtle heat is needed to complete the flavor of the ribs.
