He is most definitely the best🥰
I think you missed Thyme. my ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gR-Jfm5oYo
Making it for my lamb chops
I have never heard of adding chili powder to cajun seasoning, and i'm cajun. Everything else sounds perfect though. I'll have to try the chili powder in mine a few times
Cajun seasoning is definitely one of my favs! Great video! 👍🏽 – Diego
this is great thank you
The amounts of cayenne and paprika are reversed between the video narration and the ingredient list given, 2-1 and 1-2. Which is it?
My Cajun Seasoning (commercial blend by McCormick) contains – Salt, Chilli Pepper, Dextrose, Celery Seed, Mustard, Thyme, Pepper, Garlic, Onion, Red Pepper, Tarragon, Parsely. yeah its OK but I am here for a reason 😉
Cajun seasoning is something I use probably on a daily basis it’s really my go to. Yeah no doubt in your over alls and bald head.
this guy gotta be or was a firefighter
thank you. this was a helpful place to start.
I sprinkle it on my Shreddies. With a quick Vodka cocktail, then it's off to work at the airport.
Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning is what I use
Thank you!!! I am making this as soon as I get off work!!!
You forgot to add sugar.
Thanks for sharing! I found a recipe that called for Cajun seasoning blend but didn’t specify what was in it. I have all of these on hand and will try your exact recipe tonight and tweak it to our taste the next couple times I use it
Simple spice blend. Do you use the regular oregano or Mexican oregano here? Thanks for sharing.
Watching here
Thank you for this!!!
Nice mix, I add dried thyme and I swap the salt for celery salt.
A couple of weeks ago I made a batch of this exactly how you make it—minus the Ghost Chili powder; I like some heat but not the feeling of liquid fire/napalm on my tongue kind of heat—and it was the best Cajun seasoning I ever used. Then yesterday I made another batch but switched it up just a smidge; instead of regular paprika I used Hungarian sweet paprika and used half black pepper and white pepper…..IT IS SOOO GOOD!…and how I'll be making it for now on! Amazing how just one little omission/add-in can change the flavor profile.
Tks for sharing this recipe with us ☺️
Does Cajun have Clove in it? Because I bought on from a store and it had a strong Clove flavor where we couldn’t taste other spice which wasn’t very pleasant
The brand is “The Spice Hunter” called Cajun Creole
very informative- THANKS 👍
I like Cajun seasoning, the problem I have with a lot of brands in the stores is the amount of salt in them, I just make this and loved it, used it on my boneless pork chops tonight. I didn't have the ghost pepper powder but I'll be looking for that soon.
From the story I heard in Louisiana Cajun had less then the creoles regarding spices. Cajun had oregano cayenne onion garlic salt kosher or pink whereas creoles had more tomato based things and had more herbs . Ghost pepper is spicy or Korean pepper powder for Cajun indeed 👍
How do you spell Regan Al as the dried herbs
How do you use it?
Where would i find either the ghost or jalapeño powder any suggestions
Thank you Chef.I love spicy food so this is great to build up.
I see celery seed in a few Cajun blends. How often would you use celery seed?
Ya wanna know the real secret to this blend? Sassafras leaves Trust me, try it…
I appreciate this recipe (minus the ghost pepper powder! ) because many of the cajun seasoning blends have way too much salt. By the time you get the food seasoned up good, it can be too salty, so you have to use less, so what’s the point?
What do you think about adding some Ascorbic acid powder for that citrus flavor?
That cup will last over a year for group of people among a certain demographic… 😏😏😏
