I cut the salt to only 1/8 cup. Absolutly love this. I put it on everything...grilled veg, rice, chicken, and fish. Can't say enough about it. Its a must.

This is the best. Love it, love it, love it. Have used it on several different meats and on my favorite Halibut. It is great on fish. Great job Rita!

I can't stop sneezing LOL!!! Anyhoo, this is good stuff! Used it to make some Cajun Peanuts for gift giving this holiday season and I have some left over to use in general cooking. I too cut the salt in half, only because I was using it on salted nuts and sesame sticks. Sprinkled some on my microwave popcorn this evening and it was GREAT!!! Thanks Rita (and congrats on being the Veggie VIP this month)!

I love how much this recipe makes and took the advice of cutting the salt in half. It was delicious on my salmon recipe. Can't wait to use it on other things!
