Emeril's Creole Seasoning

Miss Annie's Note:

From Emeril's New New Orleans Cooking. This is a fairly basic seasoniong mix. If you want hotter, decrease the paprika and increase the cayenne. I wouldn't mess with the black pepper amount, however, since that will change the texture and color of the mix.

This was a good seasoning...probably not worth the millions of dollars he is getting for it, however. My DH and I love our food spicy, so I took your advice and substituted 2 tsp. cayenne for some of the paprika. I used this to make seasoned flour for some sauteed tilapia. Turned out fine.

This is an excellent seasoning mix. I halved the recipe to fit in my spice jar. I thought it had a fabulously delicious flavor and wasn't too salty. Just what I was looking for!

I used this in Chicken Cakes With Remoulade Sauce (Quick & Easy!) and it worked out really well. I did leave out the salt because I prefer to add salt as I am cooking. Thank you so much for posting.
