- ½ Tablespoon Cayenne Pepper

Notes
- To Use: This homemade blend can be used in any recipe calling for cajun seasoning, or sprinkled onto anything that needs an extra kick!
- Adjust the Heat: If you want your seasoning to be milder, you can reduce the amount of cayenne pepper in the recipe. On the other hand, if you want it extra spicy, add more.
- Onion Powder: Some Cajun seasonings include onion powder, while others don't. You can add up to 1 Tablespoon to this blend if you want to.
- Store in an Airtight Container: After you've made the 2 step seasoning, use a funnel to transfer it into a spice jar or another container with an airtight lid. This keeps moisture from getting to the seasoning, which could cause it to get clumpy.
- Another Storage Tip: You can add small silica gel packets to your spice jars to keep them fresher for even longer.
- Keep it: If properly stored, this cajun spice blend will stay fresh in your pantry for up to six months.
