This Cajun Seasoning is so quick, easy and simple to make.

It is very flavorful with a little kick of spice to it and will amp up any dish you are preparing.

Overall, I am not a spice lover.

I can’t stand too much spice that stays on your tongue for hours and then cause your eyes to run water.

Yeah that type of spice that cause you to drink a gallon of water.

Trying to cool off your entire mouth.

In addition, this a easy homemade spice that has no preservatives or fillers, which is way better than the store bought ones.

Put it in a mason jar, close the lid and then give it a shake.

That’s how easy it is.

Not only is this blend spicy, but also it is the ‘amp up’ seasoning for your everyday meal.

There are times when you are cooking and all you want for your dish is one of those ‘amp up’ spice blend to make it pop.

However, this Spice blend has just the right amount of pepper to give you just a nice kick to your dish.

What is Cajun Seasoning?
