The Colonel put his own spin on a classic Creole-style seasoning, and the result is one seriously useful little concoction. It has savory herbs, plenty of garlic, and just enough cayenne to bring a little heat without taking over the whole meal.
Use it on chicken, shrimp, fish, pork, vegetables, potatoes, eggs, or just about anything that needs a good kick of flavor. It is especially good in soups, stews, gumbo, and jambalaya—or kept close to the stove for everyday seasoning.
