So we dive into those steps and ingredients and pay attention to details if you can, I have made many trial batches of this recipe in order to come up with the perfect amount for the ingredients.

What else can I use Cajun sauce with?

Don’t limit the use of Cajun sauce to just only boiling seafood.

I also use this amazing garlic Cajun sauce to make this Cajun Style Semi-dried Squid. This semi squid was one of the best sellers on our restaurant menu. The best part of any Cajun recipe is: pairing it with any kind of cold beer, then you’re in heaven.

And if you want to make this into a sandwich, I also have this tasty Cajun grilled avocado chicken sandwich ready for you. Try it and you will fall in love with the sandwich so deeply. Cajun chicken layered with fresh avocado, lettuce, and tomato is the best new sandwich.

Ingredients included in the recipe

• Old Bay seasoning. Your Cajun boiling seafood won’t complete without this. In fact, any Cajun style recipe that omits this particular ingredient is not really qualified for the amazing taste, in my opinion.
• Lemon Pepper seasoning. I use the one from McCormick.
• Paprika or smoked paprika helps to enhance the unique color that always found in any Cajun recipe.
• Cajun seasoning. The name says it all, you need Cajun spice mix to make this recipe possible. It saves a lot of time if you just bought this ready-to-use Cajun seasoning.
  • Or if you prefer making it yourself, it is a mixture of a lot of spices included: salt, garlic powder, white pepper, dried oregano powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, dried thyme powder, and paprika.
• Cayenne pepper brings the extra spicy to this garlic Cajun boiling seafood. Omit this if you can’t handle too much spicy.

Crush your garlic – Don’t throw them in food processor

The more finely the cloves are crushed (not cut or mince into pieces), the stronger the flavor will be. That said I strongly recommend you using one of the old-fashioned way to crush garlic: using mortar and pestle.

I bought a granite mortal and pestle ages ago and still using it. I love it so much so I had to take in on a plane with me when I move half across the globe 5 years ago.

As mentioned above, I’m a garlic lover. I crushed and used garlic a lot in most of my recipes. You can see it here and here.
