same thing ….

That’ll be fine.
Red pepper is a mix of peppers, dried and ground.
cayenne is just the cayenne pepper, dried and ground.

Cayenne is much hotter than the mix, so I would use about half as much.

I am not sure, but I think one is probably hotter, more potent than the other. so just go lightly. good luck.
