Cajun Spice Mix
Cajun Spice Mix
You cannot make an authentic Cajun recipe without good spice. I searched for a ready made mix and I could not find one that really depicted the Cajun taste. I decided to replicate what I remember the rubs I have tried and this is the end result. I credit Bobbie Buckley Dirks. It is mild if you really want it hot be sure to add the crushed red pepper flakes.
You can use this in any Cajun or creole recipe.
