This Cajun seasoning is spicy, so be careful. The first time I used it I only used half of what my recipe called for and then increased as needed. I could tell it was spicy just by the whiff I got when I opened the jar. The few tablespoons I put in my jambalaya caused us to have the sniffles but at least our sinuses were clear!

You can use this seasoning to spice up all kinds of dishes. We love it in our jambalaya but it is delicious in scrambled eggs, brown rice, or as a dry rub on meat.

By making your own seasoning you can use high quality ingredients while still making a seasoning that cost less than buying pre-made. It also allows you to eliminated any ingredients that you don’t like and gives you total control over the spiciness of the seasoning.

Have a great day!
