Having finally had some real "cajun " food the first time I ate in a restaurant in Houma some years back, I was semi surprised to find everyone in DFW was fos about "cajun " cuisine being all about the heat and pepper. ( kind of like the outsiders perception of texmex)
These are what I use. Has the true amount of spicy complex flavor, and doesn't roast your exit later on. I don't have any idea of where to look for these today in this area. The last time I saw either I bought all that they had on the shelf
Should also add- if you want to make your own Tony's seasoning, Just mix a bunch of salt and cayenne pepper together. That's pretty much what the effect is like

I'd agree with that.

Yes Sir, it's my favorite. Just right for my taste. Not too salty, not too hot. Has more garlic powder/onion powder/white pepper. We even put it on popcorn. I spent many years traveling through and working in SE Louisiana, and would always try and stop at different places and try different Cajun seasonings & boudin etc. Have tried some good ones, and some that were way too salty (like Tony's etc). Fremin's Magic Dust out of New Iberia does it for me, it's cheap and I order it by the case. There are a few other recipes for "Magic Dust" on-line, but that is not Fremin's.
I use this and just leave out the salt. I can independently add salt to a dish as desired. I like spicy foods, so I put in a little more than 2X the amount of cayenne pepper.
Yeppers. I just fried a mess of backstrap seasoned with it (seasoned meat not the flour), and roasted sweet potatoes in butter/SPG & Magic Dust. Delicious.
