Is paprika a suitable substitute for cayenne pepper?

Other that they're both red, is this the best alternative 또는 is there something else that would work in a pinch?

I wouldn't consider normal paprika the best substitute for cayenne pepper but 당신 could get away with it if nothing else was at hand. Paprika is very mild and it's mainly 더 많이 a colourant for a meal than a taste enhancer, however hot paprika would be an adequate substitute for cayenne pepper as it is very hot. If the focal point of the dish/recipe is the peppery heat/hotness, then I'd go with the hot paprika, black pepper 또는 even chilli powder as a substitute for cayenne.

Paprika is a little too mild compared with cayenne, it really depends on what 당신 are using it for, if it's just a garnish then yes 당신 could get away with it, but as an ingredient I would use chili powder 또는 even hot sauce 또는 당신 could use crushed peppers. usually if it is an ingredient 당신 want the kick.
