"Authentic Cajun popcorn is actually deep-fried crawfish tails seasoned with peppery spices," explains Bogalusa, Louisiana field editor Ruby Williams. "But we like this lighter, simpler version made with real popcorn. It's our favorite TV snack."

I do not have an air popper but do have a stove top whirley pop pot so I just added the seasonings to the popping oil and this is now one of my favorite popcorn flavors!!!

Very good. Spicy. Nice change-up from traditional. I like how it uses canola oil instead of butter.

Tasty!!! I mixed the ingredients and tossed the popcorn with it. I didn't cook the spices and it tasted great!

I made this for the first time for company. There wasn't anything left of it and they wanted the recipe. Very quick and tasted wonderful.
