Notes
For a spicy dish, such as gumbo or etoufee, use about 1 teaspoon of this Cajun seasoning per serving (it will be pretty spicy, although not unbearably hot). This takes the place of the spices that might be called for in the recipe. Adjust the amount up or down, depending on your preference for mild to spicy.To liven up things like rice, hash browns, or fried eggs, just sprinkle some over the top like you would salt or pepper. It’s also good on vegetables, in soups and on burgers (you might want more than just a sprinkle on burgers).As written, Drew’s Cajun seasoning has 9% of the sodium in an equivalent amount of salt. If you use Lite Salt instead, it’s less than 5%. You can even leave the salt out completely; it’s still a good blend and you’re down to zero sodium. LCHF: Some diabetics have a problem with garlic spiking their blood sugar. If you're one of those, simply omit the garlic -- it's still a great mix!
