Vela Farms Creole Seasoning is a cayenne pepper based seasoning. This HOT seasoning, but lower in salt than popular creole brands. Great on steak, chicken, or shrimp as a rub before cooking. For best results rub meat and let rest for up to 4 hours to absorb the flavors. This blend works well in place of ground pepper on most food. Add to soups, veggies, potatoes for added flavor. MSG FREE.We have been told it is very similar to the seasoning on chips at a popular Mexican food restaurant named "Chuys".
