Emeril’s Essence

Emeril’s Essence is my go-to Creole spice that I use in not only Creole dishes, but also Cajun dishes. This is based on Emeril’s recipe from his site. I also use it in numerous other dishes. If you haven’t tried this wonderful combination of spices, you definitely should! 

Making Emeril’s Essence:

Making Emeril’s Essence couldn’t be easier. I added paprika, Kosher salt, garlic powder, freshly ground black pepper, onion powder, cayenne powder, dried oregano, and dried thyme to a 12-ounce mason jar.

Then, I screwed on the top, and gave the jar a good shake.

That’s it! It couldn’t be easier. I always keep Emeril’s Essence on hand in an air-tight container.

Dishes in which I use this wonderful spice combination include Pork Boulettes with Spicy Dip, Shrimp Étouffée, Pasta Jambalaya, Red Beans and Rice, among a lot of others. You should check out my extensive list of Mardi Gras recipes. Yum!
