Seasoned to Perfection

A Beginner's Guide to Cajun Seasoning

If you've ever tasted the bold, smoky, spicy kick in one of our signature dishes, you've already met the heart of Louisiana cooking: Cajun seasoning. At Louisiana Bistreaux, it's more than just flavor; it's tradition.

What's in Cajun Seasoning?

Cajun seasoning is a flavorful blend of spices rooted in the rustic cooking of French-speaking Acadians who settled in Louisiana. While recipes can vary, most blends include:

Paprika  – Adds a smoky, slightly sweet base and vibrant color.

Garlic powder – Brings a warm, savory depth that enhances meat and seafood.

Onion powder – Offers a subtle sweetness and rounds out the sharpness of other spices.

Black pepper – Adds a sharp, earthy heat that lingers.

Cayenne – Delivers that bold Louisiana kick with vibrant heat.

Oregano  – Brings herbal, slightly bitter notes that balance out the spice.

Thyme – Adds a woodsy, peppery finish that deepens the overall flavor.

It's earthy, spicy, and aromatic, giving everything from seafood to veggies a bold Southern personality.
