The spice blend that puts the kick in Louisiana cooking
- Mix It Up
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together until evenly blended. Store in an airtight container or spice jar.
- Store
Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Will stay fresh for 3-6 months, though the flavors are best in the first 2-3 months.
- If you want less heat, cut the cayenne in half or omit it entirely
- For a smokier flavor, use smoked paprika instead of regular
- This blend works great on chicken, fish, shrimp, vegetables, or even popcorn
- Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning is the most widely available commercial version if you'd rather buy than make
Pairs well with:
Anything that needs a Louisiana kick - perfect for blackened dishes, gumbo, jambalaya, or seasoning proteins before grilling
