Could you please post the Ingredient list, in order of listing on the container? I bet I can make my own copycat of it.

I'm thinking maybe Old Bay might have many of the same ingredients. Or perhaps one of the crab-boils we use here.

TIA!

I use Emeril's Essence, my own mix with half the salt, as a sub for any Cajun type seasoning, adjusting the cayenne level independently as needed.

Make my own Emeril's too. Good stuff.

I usually add seasonings individually, but in the case of my Old Bay, it's such a great mix all by itself, I use that pre-mixed one.

I had to almost eliminate salt from my diet. That's another reason I don't use pre-mixed seasonings a lot. Most of them are *loaded* with salt.

Like the one in question here. The primary ingredient is salt. Then there is more salt in the chili powder. It's like buying a box of salt with a thimble of seasonings mixed in.

After driving through the Salt Flats, where there is 30 thousand ACRES of salt, it feels like such a rip-off to pay top shelf prices for salt.

Plus, the stuff raises havoc with my blood pressure! Ha!

I'll use the same ingredients, minus the salt.

Thanks again Anne! I know what to use now!
