Ever since I started making my own seasoning blends, I haven’t looked back! Compared with store bought, they’re way healthier, much more cost effective, and they taste so much better.
Since I’ve already shared with you my homemade seasoning blends for common spices such as Italian seasoning, homemade taco seasoning, chili seasoning & poultry seasoning…

This spice is not only perfect in recipes that call for Cajun seasoning, it gives a special kick to seafood, chicken, rice dishes, roasted veggies, soups & more!
It’s so versatile that I use it in many of my recipes from shrimp creole, to oven roasted potatoes, or even scrambled into eggs for a spicy breakfast.
Since this is one of my favorites, I’m sure it will be one of your too!!!

What is the difference between Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper?
Cayenne pepper is an ingredient in a Cajun seasoning blend, so cayenne pepper is a part of the spice blend commonly used in creole cuisine.
But cayenne pepper stands on its own as a spice that is used to make recipes spicy. It can be used alone, or in spice blends.
What Cajun seasoning is best?
This one, of course! Trust me, making your own homemade spice blend is so much tastier, healthier and cost effective than buying store bought brands like McCormick.
