Creole seasoning
Louisiana spice mix
Creole seasoning is a spice blend associated with Louisiana cooking, typically combining paprika, garlic, onion, cayenne pepper, oregano, and thyme.
It adds warmth and complexity to dishes like jambalaya, gumbo, and blackened fish.
Similar to Cajun seasoning, though Creole blends often include more herbs: I rubbed the chicken with Creole seasoning before grilling.
