In honor of Mardi Gras, I thought I would make a few cajun-inspired dishes this week. You can purchase a cajun spice mix at the store, but I enjoy making my own spice mixes. They make great gifts – simply attach your favorite recipe using the spice mix.
This cajun spice mix can be stored in airtight jars for up to six months. The recipe makes about 1 3/4 cups. Stay posted for recipes using this spice mix!
To make the mix, simply mix the following spices in a small bowl:
- 1/2 cup Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup paprika (sweet paprika, not smoked)
- 3 tablespoons garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons onion powder
- 3 tablespoons cayenne pepper
- 3 tablespoons ground black pepper
Hi,
I also have a cajun spice mix recipe on my site, but I really enjoyed yours. I use the following:
Chili powder, 3 Tablespoon
Paprika, 2 Tablespoons
Black pepper, 1.5 Tablespoons
White pepper, 1.5 Tablespoons
Onion powder, 1 Tablespoon
Sweet Basil, 1 Tablespoon
Just thought I’d share! Take care!!
