We love it. Only change we make is about 1/2 the salt and a TS more cayenne pepper.

for ribs add 2 TBS dark brown sugar, cut back on cayenne pepper
I am new to Cajan cooking and tried the receipt and really loved it. Thank You. Could not have made an authentic Cajan dish without it.

This is very good. Just wanted to add a little tip - use popcorn salt - it's a finer, almost powdery salt and blends better - but use about one fourth to one third less (a matter of preference) since it compacts much more, otherwise it will come out too salty.

Actually the real Emeril's Essence does NOT contain Rosemary.

Emeril's essence also has Rosemary in it.
