Scortch – Extreme Hot Pepper Seasoning & BBQ Rub
Five fiery peppers. Unbelievable flavor. Think you can handle the Scortch?
Some seasonings bring the heat. Pawpa Flavor Scortch brings the whole inferno!
Created for serious spice lovers, Scortch is an all-natural, extreme hot pepper seasoning and BBQ rub featuring five powerful peppers: Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Ghost Pepper, Habanero and Cayenne Pepper.
But don't mistake Scortch for a seasoning that's all burn and no flavor.
At Pawpa Flavor, we believe the flavor of the peppers should always come before their heat. That's why Scortch combines its fiery pepper blend with savory garlic, paprika, black pepper, cumin, onion and a touch of sweetness to deliver rich, complex flavor beneath its intense heat.
The result? A super-hot seasoning that brings bold, savory character and serious fire to everything from chicken wings and smoked ribs to burgers, chili and roasted vegetables.
Warning: This one's for the true heat seekers!

What Can You Season With Scortch?
Chicken Wings
Turn up the heat on grilled, smoked, baked or air-fried wings. Use a light coating before cooking or toss finished wings with butter and a small amount of Scortch for a fiery dry-rub finish.
Steaks, Burgers and Beef
Add intense pepper heat to grilled steaks, burgers, tri-tip and brisket. Scortch works especially well when paired with a savory base seasoning.
Pork and Ribs
Bring serious heat to pork chops, smoked ribs, pulled pork and pork shoulder. A little Scortch goes a long way!
Chicken and Poultry
Season grilled chicken, roasted chicken thighs, drumsticks and turkey for bold flavor and a powerful kick.
Shrimp and Seafood
Add fiery flavor to grilled shrimp, seafood tacos and sautéed seafood. Start with a small amount so the pepper heat doesn't overpower the seafood.
Chili, Soups and Stews
Looking to turn up the heat in your favorite pot of chili? Add Scortch gradually and taste as you go.
Roasted Vegetables and Potatoes
Sprinkle lightly over roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, cauliflower or Brussels sprouts.
Dips, Sauces and Marinades
Mix a pinch into mayonnaise, sour cream, melted butter, barbecue sauce or marinades for a customizable burst of heat.
