Homemade Cajun Seasoning. You will never, ever buy store-bought again. This super-flavorful homemade spice mix is amazing.

When/where to use Cajun Seasoning- while the options are limitless, here are my favorites.
• Smoked Sausage & Shrimp Jambalaya
• Gumbo (obviously)
• Over fish (brush with oil, then add a bit of seasoning)
• Spice up ground beef- burgers or (I’ve never made it…) meatloaf
• Salads. Mix some with a little bit of dressing (and maybe a tiny bit of water to thin it) and you have a ton of flavor with less dressing (hence less calories).
• Dry rub
• Southern pulled pork (haven’t done yet…but dying to try it!)
• Classic red beans and rice
• Shrimp.
• Potatoes (halve or quarter, toss with oil & flavor, bake in oven)
• or search online for “recipes using cajun seasoning” or Pinterest, etc. Trust me, there are tons of one-pot meals or pasta variations, etc. that use it.
