re: Your Homemade "Cajun" Seasoning Blend Recipes?

I take a small can of Tony's and dump it into a larger cannister and add cayenne, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, etc ... If I'm making a rub I also add brown sugar.

I use a modified Tony's recipe

1 box salt (26 oz)
4 oz cayenne
2 oz black
1 oz granulated garlic (not powder)
1 oz chili powder

This is a much hotter mix which cuts down on the salt. I am also playing around with a recipe to include white pepper to substitute for some of the cayenne.

I use it for everything as a starter, including boiling seafood.

8 oz box salt
1 ½ oz ground black pepper
1 1/2 oz ground red pepper
1 oz garlic powder
1 oz chili powder
1 oz onion powder

like tonys not as salty

This is what I use ....a lot


2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons dried oregano leaves
2 tablespoons dried sweet basil
1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon white pepper
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon celery seed
5 tablespoons sweet paprika
Combine in food processor and pulse until well-blended, or mix thoroughly in a large bowl. The recipe doubles or triples well.
