Seafood Cajun Seasoning

We just had sandwiches for dinner tonight. So, I'm sending a seasoning recipe that I use. I use this when I cook fish and fish sandwiches.

Seafood Cajun Seasoning

* 1 tablespoon kosher salt
* 2 teaspoons paprika
* 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 2 teaspoons granulated garlic

* 1 teaspoon gumbo file
* 1 teaspoon crab boil seasoning, optional (recommended: Old Bay) if using cut salt to 1/2 tablespoon


In a medium bowl, combine cayenne pepper, kosher salt, paprika, black pepper, garlic, onion powder, gumbo file and crab boil seasoning.

Cajun Porkchops, Cajun Sauteed Vegetables and Red Beans and Rice

Sorry - No pics of this meal.

We had cajun porkchops, Cajun sauteed vegetables and Red Beans and Rice.

Cajun Porkchops
* Thin, boneless pork chops (as many as you need)
* Cajun seasoning
* Tbsp olive oil

1. Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat.
2. Season chops on both sides with cajun seasoning.
3. Brown chops on both sides in skillet until done.

Cajun Vegetables
* vegetable medley to your liking
* Cajun Seasoning
* Tbsp olive oil

1. Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat.
2. Begin sauteeing vegetables in oil adding cajun seasoning to taste.
3. Sautee veggies until they are to your liking.

For the Red Beans and Rice, I just used the Zatarain's box mix and fixed it according to the directions. For my main dish of Red Beans and Rice, I make it from scratch. This was just a quick side dish.
