Spice – What type of Paprika

If the recipe is just asking for "Paprika", they want generic paprika labeled as such. Like this:

According to the McCormick website, this is "sweet" paprika.

The dried, ground pods of Capsicum annuum L., a sweet red pepper.

Similarly, the Spice Islands site calls it sweet

Vividly red in color, paprika is made from ground Capsicum chili peppers. Although, it doesn’t pack the punch you’d expect from a chili. Instead, it has a sweet flavor and a delicate aroma that can vary from fruity to sharp.

You certainly do not want "smoked". Both of these companies sell this specifically.
