Meet the Founder
Shawn Ledet
Cajun Smoke was created by Shawn Ledet. Being a true Cajun, his mother taught him how to cook when he was 12 years old — Chicken Andouille Gumbo, Seafood Gumbo, Red Beans, Stews, and everything in between.
When Shawn had a family of his own, he grew tired of using a variety of different seasonings that were too salty. So he decided to come up with his own blend. After numerous attempts, Cajun Smoke Premium Season-It-All was born with only 2% salt.
With the support of his wife, they made it a business in 2016 — Cajun Smoke, LLC.
What We Stand For

Why We Do It
Our Mission
At Cajun Smoke Seasoning, we are passionate about bringing the authentic taste of Cajun cuisine to your kitchen without all the salt. Today most seasonings that are out there have so much salt in them that is all you taste and makes dishes unpleasant. Here at Cajun Smoke Seasoning all our products only have 2% salt in them. Begin your journey with bold flavors and traditional recipes that celebrate the rich culinary heritage of Louisiana.
How We Got Here
Our Journey
Learning to Cook
At age 12, Shawn Ledet's mother began teaching him the art of Cajun cooking — gumbo, red beans, stews, and more.
The Problem
As a father and husband, Shawn grew frustrated with store-bought seasonings that were overwhelmingly salty, masking the true flavor of Cajun food.
The Blend is Born
After numerous attempts in his home kitchen, Shawn perfected his own blend — bold, authentic Cajun flavor with only 2% salt.
Cajun Smoke LLC
With the support of his wife, Shawn turned his recipe into a business. Cajun Smoke LLC was officially founded in Louisiana.
Seasoning the World
Cajun Smoke ships across the country, bringing authentic Louisiana flavor to kitchens everywhere.
"You can always add salt — but you can't take it out."
That's the philosophy behind every jar of Cajun Smoke. Bold flavor, your control.
