I love Cajun food but all the commercial Cajun seasoning blends have waaaay to much salt for me.
You know the kind. They say when it’s salty enough it’s seasoned just right? That doesn’t work for me!
So I have been searching for the longest time to find the best Homemade Cajun seasoning blend, this is it! My new Tony’s replacement.
Move over Emeril!… you will never purchase Creole or Cajun seasoning again once you taste this one.
The Best Homemade Cajun/Creole Seasoning Mix
Ingredients
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons dried basil
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon white pepper (or 2 use tablespoons black pepper)
3 teaspoons cayenne pepper
5 tablespoons paprika
4 -5 tablespoons Lawry’s seasoning salt
Directions
Mix all ingredients in a glass jar.Store in the refrigerator to keep the spices fresh.
Shake the jar before using.
Tips and Tidbits
Four tablespoons of seasoned salt will not be overly-salty if you prefer a more salty taste then add in some white salt — this makes a fair amount of seasoning.
Store in a tightly-sealed glass jar in the refrigerator to use in ground beef recipes, soups, or stews, homemade pasta sauce recipes, or use it to season roasts, chickens, pork, beef, I use it on just about everything!
If you like extreme spice then increase the cayenne up to 4-5 teaspoons.
This makes a great gift for a spice-lover!
