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.
