Ingredients
3 tsp 3 Sweet paprika
3 tsp 3 Smoked paprika
2 tsp 2 Cayenne pepper
4 tsp 4 Garlic powder
2 tsp 2 Onion Powder
2 tsp 2 Ground black pepper
2 tsp 2 White pepper powder
2 tsp 2 Dried Oregano
2 tsp 2 Dried Thyme
2 tsp 2 Dried basil
3 tsp 3 Dried rosemary (optional)
1 1/2 tsp 1 1/2 Kosher salt or fine sea salt
Directions
- Add all the ingredients to the mixing bowl and whisk everything together until thoroughly combined.
- You can use your prepared Cajun seasoning immediately with your dishes or store it away in a well-fitting glass container/ spice jar to use whenever you need it.
Notes
- If you don’t like salt in your blend, you can skip it. Or, if you want more salt, feel free to add another teaspoon or so.
- Although we have used both sweet and smoked paprika here, you can just go with one variety, depending on what you have in hand.
- If you wish to make your blend hotter, increase the amount of cayenne pepper. We have used paprika and cayenne pepper in a 2:1 ratio here. So, for more hotness, you can go in a 1:1 ratio. That is, use 02 tablespoons of paprika and 02 tablespoons of cayenne pepper.
- For an extra kick of flavor, you can follow up with some ground cumin, chili powder, jalapeno powder, etc.
- When stored properly in an air-tight glass spice container/jar, this Cajun seasoning could last well up to one year.
