Measure and Combine: Measure out all the spices and herbs accurately. Combine them in a small bowl.
Mix Thoroughly: Use a whisk or spoon to mix the ingredients until they are well combined. Ensure that the spices are evenly distributed to create a uniform blend.
Store Properly: Transfer the Cajun seasoning blend to an airtight container. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help preserve its flavor and potency for up to six months.
Adjust to Taste: Feel free to adjust the quantities based on your heat preference. If you like it spicier, add more cayenne pepper. For a milder blend, reduce the amount of cayenne.
