Can use cajun and creole seasoning interchangeably in dishes?
I made this Emeril's Braised Chicken recipe today, and used cajun instead of creole seasoning because that's what I had at home. It tasted delicious, but I can't keep from wondering what kind of character the dish would have if I had used creole seasoning instead. My understanding is that creole seasoning is made mostly of dried herbs whereas cajun seasoning is heavier on the paprika and onion. Am I correct?
