How to make Creole Seasoning…

HOMEMADE CREOLE SEASONING….

Tell me you don’t get tired of buying expensive spices? CREOLE SEASONING is EASY to make plus YOU have control over the HEAT and SALINITY.

The first version is a real favorite because it contains all 3 peppers: Black, White and Cayenne. Each of these touch a different place on the tongue providing for an amazing flavor experience. The second version is a nice blend of heat and flavor.

Feel free to experiment with the mix to find just the right level of heat and flavor you prefer. Also, keep in mind, if your creole spice seasoning is heavy on the salt then you may want to add less salt when making your final dish.

Some of my FAVORITE DISHES for this….Louisiana Creole Smothered Cabbage, Jambalaya, Spicy Potato Salad (made with CREOLE SEASONING and CREOLE MUSTARD).

I also use on shrimp, chicken and pork and I have quite a few New Orleans style dishes where I put this to good use.

ENJOY!!
