Cajun Seafood Boil Seasoning for Crawfish, Crab and Shrimp, 4lb

The Walker Family, based in Ville Platte, Louisiana, is proud to produce their line of top-quality Cajun seasonings and recipes. Ville Platte, the self-proclaimed smoked meats capital of the world, is also world-famous for its modern-day jousting tournament, the incomparable Floyd's Record Shop, and the magnificent Chicot State Park – a truly magical place, even by Louisiana's high standards.

It was here, in 1956, that Wilda Marie Fontenot Walker gave birth to Anthony Walker (affectionately known as "TW"), the one-of-a-kind creator and sole originator of the well-known Slap Ya Mama brand seasoning. TW started his search for a seasoning with a real Cajun pepper taste but without the heavy salt content while running the Walker family deli. When he couldn't find one, he did what folks in this part of the country (and in particular, Ville Platte) do best – he went to work and dreamed one up.

TW's sons, Jack and Joe, were very young back then, and they loved rolling around and causing general bouts of mayhem, as kids of that age often do. The Walkers put their boys to work rolling an antique glass pickle jar around the floor of the family deli for the express purpose of mixing their homegrown Cajun seasoning – the perfect combination of work and play. Everybody loved the Walkers' Cajun seasoning so much that it soon needed a name. To the folks who came into the deli asking to take home the Cajun seasoning, TW would often proclaim, "When you use this seasoning, the food tastes so good, you'll receive a loving slap on the back and a kiss on the cheek for creating such a great tasting Cajun dish." And that's how the Walker & Son's Cajun brand Slap Ya Mama was born in the proud Cajun town of Ville Platte, Louisiana.

Slap Ya Mama products include an authentic down-home etouffee base, a unique blend of seafood boil spices, three pillars of Cajun seasonings (Original Blend, Hot Blend, and White Pepper Blend), Cajun hot sauces, and dinner mixes for traditional Cajun dishes like Red Beans & Rice, Gumbo, and Jambalaya. Their Cajun fish fry batter also adds the perfect color, crunch, and Cajun flavor to fried dishes.

Slap Ya Mama's products are easy to use, versatile, and offer an authentic Cajun taste – all made with genuine, authentic ingredients and no MSG. The Walker Family has been crafting top-of-the-line quality Cajun seasonings and recipes from Ville Platte, Louisiana, for decades, bringing their family's tradition to homes around the world.
