Has any tried Dizzy Pig Cajunish on fish or shrimp and also what do you recommend for shrimp.    I like to cook them on blackstone without shells for use in shrimp and grits or for use in pasta dishes

    Bayouish is really tasty.  Not very traditional as a blackening seasoning, but I like it regardless.

    We really like this...and like the label states, it contains no salt meaning a can lasts a long time and we can control our salt intake. I believe we found it at a Rouses grocery store in Louisiana although it is available on the Internet.

    Don't let the redfish label fool you.
    This is a Classic for good reason.
    Remember, fresh shrimp is great. Don't over power it with seasoning.
    Let your shrimp warm up just a bit and let the higher heat blacken the shrimp.
    Perfect for your Blackstone.

    Thank you,

    Agree 100%. For “blackening” it’s hard to beat Paul Prudhommes products. I use them religiously.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    JO is essentially what Old Bay used to be when it was made by the Chesapeake Bay Spice Co. Great stuff.
