Mexicajun Recipes: T-Boy’s “Bam” - MexiCajun Seasoning

MexiCajun Seasoning


I use this as a base for just about everything I cook. Use as a basic seasoning and adjust spices in every dish dish to taste. I don’t use salt ‘cause sometimes the Tasso ham in some dishes is salty enough. Replace your blend every 6-8 weeks. I recommend that you lightly roast your seeds, peppercorns & crushed red pepper on a clean pan over medium heat before you crush them.


· 1 tablespoon black pepper
· 1 tablespoon dried ground thyme
· 1 tablespoon white pepper
· 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
· 1 tablespoon ground celery seed
· 1 tablespoon ground coriander seed
· 2 tablespoons onion powder
· 2 tablespoons garlic powder
· 2 tablespoons dried ground oregano
· 2 tablespoons dried sweet basil
· 5 tablespoons fresh paprika

Combine in hand mortar until well-blended, store in tall container so less seasoning is exposed to the air and place a piece of parchment paper on top as well. Keeps well and makes excellent gift.
