I never keep seasoning blends on hand because I hate an overcrowded spice drawer so this is perfect when making cajun recipes.

In reply to Donald Becnel. I understand your comment about authenticity, but everyone in southern Louisiana has their own spice mix recipe. And NOLA and southern Louisiana generally is an internation melting pot. There is no one true recipe. Paprika? Most comes from Hungary and Spain. Oregano? If Commander`s Palace uses it, I'm okay. Ground garlic? Most of it comes from China and other Asian countries unless you go local organic (i.e., expensive). Some NOLA recipes use basil, which is pretty unusual. So Ms Chidsey's recipe is actually is pretty typical of all the other recipes on the Web.

Hello Kristen, good morning!
Eliminate the Cumin (Mexican) and the Oregano (Italian) from the Ingredients List and your Recipe contains essentially the same combination of things as 95% of the better Cajun (and Creole) Seasonings down here.
Also, Black Pepper is very often used as well.
Thanks for the Recipe!
Donald in Louisiana

In reply to Gabby G. Thanks Gabby! Yes, a lot of store bought blends are full of allergens

Love all these flavours, and I love that you control what goes into it, since sometimes the ready-made blends contain additives and allergens, as you mention. Great recipe!
