Cajun spice blend belongs to Louisiana, USA - the home of cajun cuisine. The seasoning includes garlic powder, onion powder, red chile powder (paprika or cayenne), salt, pepper powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, and thyme.
Making your batch of Cajun seasoning at home is simpler than you thought and cheaper. By having homemade cajun spice mix in your pantry, you save lots of money and add great flavors to your dish. Mix all the spice powder mentioned in the ingredient list until combined. Store it in an airtight container and use it as and when required.

My favorite recipes with cajun spice mix include cajun fries, cajun boiled potatoes, cajun boiled corn, cajun paneer or tofu, and cajun hashbrowns. In India, cajun potatoes are popular at the Barbeque Nation restaurant. This Cajun spice mix can be used in stir-fries or salad. Cajun spice mix takes your dips to the next level. It may be guacamole or hummus. To give an additional kick to your pasta or seafood, you can use this cajun spice mix to make cajun shrimp pasta, cajun chicken pasta, and so on. The option is endless. I always have a jar of cajun spice mix ready in my pantry, and whenever I feel any dish is bland, I sprinkle some on top and enjoy. Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Use a clean spoon every time you need the seasoning, which ensures it will last for at least one year. I like to keep mine in the refrigerator.
