    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.

    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?

      @ChiliPepperMadness  3 роки тому +4

      Thanks for pointing that out. You can do either way, however, cayenne is much spicier, so if you're looking for not quite so spicy, use 2 tbsp paprika, and 1 tbsp cayenne. For more spicy, vice versa. I hope you enjoy it.
