00W's AIO Smorgasbord

Creole is usually not ground so fine, bigger pepper flakes etc.
Cajun seasoning is usually ground incredibly fine.
I use it to blacken salmon, steak, etc.

Good to know! I always thought that they were the same.

Is it cooking with Kevin today? :star-struck:

What are you all cooking today? I think I'll make Fettuccine Alfredo, which is one of my wife's favorites. Another favorite is sushi, but I don't know how to do it lol. Maybe I'll change the salmon for shrimp or lobster.

Very similar.
Cajun will have more heat, creole,as far as I remember, will contain sugar, usually brown sugar.

I love Alfredo.
Used to make it to order for dinner years ago.
One of my favs.
Don't serve dinners anymore so occasionally I'll make it for the kids.

Is creole and cajun seasoning the same?

I think creole includes leaf herbs and cajun does not. like oregano etc...

Cajun and Creole are slightly interchangeable, if you’re talking about blackening blends. Those are very much like a Nonna marinara (or gravy if you’re Northern Italian) - each family usually has a different spin on it.

Now if you’re taking about a “Cajun” spice versus a “Creole” spice blend, Cajun will be heavier on the cayenne pepper and more powdered (garlic powder, onion powder, etc) and Creole will be a bit on the savory side with a bigger granule (granulated garlic, dehydrated onion, etc).

Cajun blends are more used for grilling/blackening and Creole more so in stews, gumbos.

To add to what 00W has stated.
