Especially good for grilling steelhead & salmon. Smoking: use it like your normal salt until the pellicle forms, wash off and smoke (leave on if you like a strong Cajun taste). This has a lot of flavor but is not fire-hot. For grilling: I sprinke heavy on the flesh side, rub with olive or grapeseed oil, put on the grill with lid on 10 minutes (steelhead), go between the flesh and skin & flip over - lightly sprinkle and oil - lid on till cooked (a big fillet can take another 10 min). A lot of other uses for it too. Happy eating!

Thanks for that. If you do this with halibut (grilled or smoked) I'm interested how it works out. Steelhead & salmon I've got a handle on. |

I've done blackened butts with a cajun mix from store a few times. Always very good. Always looking for new variations for cooking butts since so spoiled with them here in Homer. Butt tacos are also favorites with taco mix and crema. |

When wanting' cajun, you can't beat "Slap Ya Mama" available most places to
put a known zing in your cookin'. Don't take the name literally; it's seasoning.
Why experiment with things you don't know about when the real thing is
so available?
Folks in LA (Lousiana) know what they have got - local flavor.
And, it's got bling (FYI use carefully); your eggs will try to fly w/o wings!
Carry it for protection too.
Aye.

Good - it's going to work just fine for you then. We used the recipe on steelhead in Oregon for about 150 people and had some say they'd cooked it all their lives and this was the best they'd had so I'm good with that. Happy eating to you! |

That's a good one too. You smoke with that as well? Don't know if you've used that in red beans rice ( https://youtu.be/3dnqoL2Cu7U - my recipe - lower right hit "skip" the commercial) but with that you wouldn't need the hot sauce unless you like it magma hot. Recipe: all fresh ingredients, same cook time as the boxed garbage. |

I went through all that and one of the things they have that I was glad to see is "Blue Runner Creole Style Beans" -- that is the real deal when it comes to red beans. They are cooked and creamed in just the right proportion for that dish. Hard to find outside a Louisiana (a lot of places list they have it but don't (Walmart - Dollar General - etc.) |

Lol
I use it on meat, chicken, fish and blue point crabs., and have not used the smoker in a while. Lately, on a Old Bay kick.
I need to try the other recommendations.
I have really like red beans and rice with or without sausage. For no particular reason, I add cut up fresh tomatoes and onions |

Excellent. That's the real secret to doing RBR fast - fry the veggies and meat down with a tablespoon or two of seasoning (or none - I like it spicy) and a tablespoon (or 6) of hot sauce, throw a couple of those in and whatever water (I use a can) to get the consistency you want bring it to a boil and you're done in 20 minutes. |
