Cajun Seasoning Blend
Spice It Up, Cajun Style!
This Cajun Seasoning Blend is a spicy, herbaceous mix that brings bold, Southern flavor to just about anything you cook. Made with pantry staples like paprika, garlic powder, oregano, and thyme, plus a kick from cayenne and black pepper, it’s the perfect balance of heat and depth.
What Makes It Great:
Customizable: You control the spice level—add more cayenne for heat or tone it down for a milder version.
Low in Salt: Made with just a touch of salt, so you can season your dish exactly how you like it—or keep it low-sodium.
Versatile: Works with meats, seafood, veggies, soups, stews, and even sprinkled on popcorn or fries.
Authentic Flavor: Inspired by the Louisiana bayou, this blend captures that true Cajun essence in every pinch.
Great Uses:
Gumbo & Jambalaya – A must-have seasoning base for both classic Cajun dishes.
Blackened Meats – Rub it on chicken, steak, or fish before searing for a smoky crust.
Roasted Veggies – Toss with olive oil and roast for a spicy twist.
Fries & Popcorn – Sprinkle over for a bold, addictive snack.
Shrimp & Grits – Adds a real Southern kick to creamy, buttery dishes.
