BLUES HOG: Cajun Bayou Seasoning – 184g Shaker

A taste of New Orleans in a shaker

Blues Hog Cajun Bayou serves up the ragin' flavours of the Southern bayou — a bold, savoury blend that captures the soulful essence of New Orleans. Smoky heat, zesty herbs and deep Southern spice give it that signature Louisiana kick, ready to jazz up just about anything off the grill or out of the fryer.

The flavour

Paprika-forward and savoury up front, with garlic and onion depth through the middle and a warm, smoky Cajun heat on the finish. Bold and zesty rather than blow-your-head-off — the flavour that turns fries, prawns or a pot of gumbo into a taste of the bayou.

How to cook with it

• Toss prawns or fish fillets in oil and a heavy shake, then sear hard for blackened Cajun seafood.
• Rub chicken thighs or wings before the grill for smoky, spiced skin.
• Shake generously over hot chips or fries straight out of the fryer.
• Stir a spoonful into a gumbo, jambalaya or soup for instant Southern depth — the rogue move that makes the pot.

In the shaker

An even, medium grind in a shaker-top bottle — sprinkles clean over meat, seafood and chips without clumping.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl smuggled a little bayou heat past the border for this one. Dust prawns or chicken with Cajun Bayou and sear them hard, then serve with Butchers Axe Original BBQ Sauce and a sharp dab of Tracklements Fresh Chilli Jam for a quick, zesty kick. New Orleans on a plate.

How hot is Cajun Bayou?
Medium — a proper Cajun kick with smoky warmth, bold and zesty rather than fiery.

What's it best on?
Chicken, prawns and seafood, sausage, fries, and stirred through gumbo, jambalaya or soups.

Is it gluten free?
Blues Hog list it as gluten free — always confirm against the physical label if you have an allergy.
