Cajun Spice Mix

[mediclimber]

This mix is a basic Cajun mix very similar to Paul Prudohme's Cajun Magic.

2 1/2 Tablespoons Paprika
2 Tablespoons Salt
2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
1 Tablespoon Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
1 Tablespoon Cayenne Pepper
1 Tablespoon Oregano
1 Tablespoon Thyme

Mix them all together and grind in a spice or coffee grinder. Another mix I keep in a quart mason jar.

Here's a good one.

Jambalaya shrimp
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced bell pepper
1/2 cup diced celery
2 cups rice
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup diced andouille sausage
1 pound shrimp, de-veined
1 16 oz can crushed tomatoes
Cajun spice mix to taste

1. mix butter and oil in pot over medium heat.
2. saute onion, pepper, and celery till onion is a nice golden brown.
3. Add sausage and cook till browned evenly.
4. Add chicken stock and rice, cover and cook till rice is fluffy, about 20 minutes.
5. Add shrimp and tomatoes cover and turn down to medium low. Let cook about 15 minutes or until shrimp are pink.
6. Season to taste with the Cajun mix. A little hot sauce won't hurt either.
7. Set to low, serve, keep extra covered, if there is any. A good crusty bread with garlic butter goes well with this as does an ice cold beer.
