What’s your favorite Cajun seasoning?

I loved a product called Blazin Blends New Orleans Chicken and Seafood. Found it at the dollar store. It had great flavor with out too much heat or salt. And of course, it is no longer available. Lol.

I have a cupboard full of Tony’s, Slap YaMamma, etc.... Most are quite salty don’t have as good of flavor. Just peppers, garlic and salt.

The Blazin Blend stuff had some herbs to it as well. Thyme, bay, oregano. Anybody have a favorite that’s similar?

JMHO- never cared for Tony's at all
Might as well mix a spoon of cayenne
and a spoon of salt and save the expense

That's about right. Heat and salt is about all I get out of Tony's.

I'll check it out. Thanks.

That looks good! I'll give making some a whirl. Might add a little bay.

What do you want to use it on? Prudhomme's has a line of targeted seasonings I use all the time.

Not really a "cajun " seasoning.
My for sure cajun south Louisiana
ex boss turned me on to Cavender's
Greek seasoning long ago, and it
works well in Louisiana dishes, cajun
type and creole both.

FWIW there's bunches of spice blend
recipes online. Some of them are
great, and some are crap.
You just have to try them and see.
I have put together some I didn't care
for at all. One I found was for a "cowboy '
spice blend that sells for about 10 dollars
online. I did put it together and it was
really good and tasted like the store
bought item. But it had over a dozen
ingredients and wasn't economical to
try to duplicate unless you were making a
large quantity of it. So there is that
issue to deal with too
Some are really simple and economical
and you can save some money.
Garlic powder and onion powder and
plain black pepper is one and it's good

I use some Cavender's but I don't see it as a Cajun seasoning. You need to be OK with MSG to use it as well.

Dizzy Pig "Bayou-ish". Dizzy Pig seasonings don't have near as much salt as many of the other brands.


Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.

I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

I always used the Blazin Blend for dirty rice mix. I just made a batch last night and since I'm out of the seasoning, I tried to wing it by mixing some Tony's with a little Old Bay and a little ground thyme and oregano.

Too salty, too much cayenne, not enough herb. It'll still be good, but the other was GREAT.

Seem the packaged blends are all across the board. Cajun, Creole, Blackened.....they don't necessarily mean the same thing to everybody. I think I'll play around mixing my own based on Emerils recipe and will definitely pick up a few of the suggested blends.

Thanks!

I haven't used Emeril's recipe, but I have used the packaged Essence. I would not call it Cajun. Its flavor profile comes across to me as more like something to jazz up a red sauce.

Its pretty straight forward.

2 1/2 tablespoons paprika.
2 tablespoons salt.
2 tablespoons garlic powder.
1 tablespoon black pepper.
1 tablespoon onion powder.
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper.
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano.
1 tablespoon dried thyme.

I don't know if its Cajun or Creole.

This is the 1 Deb makes; it came a recipe guide for an Arbonne 30 day cleanse program, therefore assuming no bad $hit in it.
