Creole Seasoning Recipes

Creole seasoning is a bold pantry spice blend commonly used in Louisiana-inspired cooking. It typically combines paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne, oregano, thyme, and other savory spices for a warm, aromatic flavor with gentle to moderate heat.

Use it to season shrimp, chicken, fish, roasted vegetables, rice dishes, beans, gumbo, jambalaya, étouffée, soups, stews, and crispy potatoes. It is especially useful when you want quick depth of flavor without measuring several individual spices.

Because salt levels vary by brand or homemade blend, taste before adding extra salt to a recipe. Start with a small amount, then build the seasoning as the dish cooks.
