- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Adjust the consistency of the wet rub by adding 1 tablespoon of water if needed. The rub should be thick but spreadable.
Generously coat your choice of meat or poultry with the wet rub, ensuring full coverage. For best results, marinate the protein for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
