Notes
Sodium Content: This Cajun Seasoning Recipe already has less sodium than store-bought blends. However, to significantly reduce the sodium even further cut the salt in half or omit it completely if needed.
Spice Level: Feel free to increase or decrease the cayenne pepper to increase to adjust the level of heat in this Cajun Seasoning.
Storage: This blend lasts 6 months if stored in an airtight container. While safe to consume after 6 months, it has the best flavor in that time frame, as spices begin to lose their potency after 6 months.
