A couple of weeks ago I made a batch of this exactly how you make it---minus the Ghost Chili powder; I like some heat but not the feeling of liquid fire/napalm on my tongue kind of heat---and it was the best Cajun seasoning I ever used. Then yesterday I made another batch but switched it up just a smidge; instead of regular paprika I used Hungarian sweet paprika and used half black pepper and white pepper.....IT IS SOOO GOOD!...and how I'll be making it for now on! Amazing how just one little omission/add-in can change the flavor profile.

Yes, home-made spice mixes are better in my opinion, you can tailor them to your liking, and make as much or as little as you like. When you make them yourself and when you have your ideal mix then every time you make them they are the same, a win all round.
