The Best Creole/Cajun Seasoning Mix
By: KITTENCAL
Sep 13, 2006
Move over Emeril!... you will never purchase Creole or Cajun seasoning again once you taste this one --- I have searched for the longest time to find the best seasoning blend, this is it! --- 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, just 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!

This is wonderful. Made it last night so I could use it on my creamy cajun chicken pasta for which I had used Tony's on it in the past and it was too salty. I had read a review to make your own seasoning and it would not be as salty. Found this recipe and I will never buy premade again. Very easy and quick to make. I did use the white peper and black pepper. Thanks again.

Super seasoning mix! I usually buy Tony Cachere's instead of Emeril's — but if a recipe calls for more than a teaspoon or so, they're both waaay too salty for our tastes. Since I was making chia's etouffee (Crawfish /Shrimp Etouffee), which specifies 3 T., I searched 'zaar for a substitute. I mixed it exactly according to directions except for using McCormick's Season-All, which we much prefer to all other seasoned salts, and adding only about 3 T. paprika (that's all I had). It was incredibly flavorful! As I noted in my review of chia's recipe, I had to cut way back on the recommended amount of seasonings, even though my family adores spicy foods. I suspect it's because Kitten's version packs a much more powerful punch than the commercial varieties, but I'm not sure. Whatever — this stuff is seriously good, and it's NOT too salty! Kitten, you're a gift. Thanks a bunch for another wonderful recipe!

This is better than any Cajun seasoning I've ever tried, bar none! I used this to make Creamy Cajun Chicken #39087. The mix of spices blended together well with none being over powering and just the perfect amount of heat.I used Lawry's which wasn't too salty. Thanks for sharing Kittencal !!
