So my previous post about Blackened Cajun Chicken with the Fettuccine Alfredo needs the Cajun Seasoning listed. Don’t stop there, this mix can be used for all things Cajun!
I use this in my Gumbo.
I use this on shrimp to make Cajun Lettuce Wraps. (Oh yeah! A little of this on raw shrimp, drop them onto a hot skillet, and cook until the shrimp just barely looses that translucent, or clear, bit in the center. Wrap in lettuce. Eat. Simple and delicious.)
Sometimes I just put a little on whatever needs a creole kick in the pants.
And it makes a lot, but a little goes a long way. And it stores well for several months in a tightly sealed jar or freezer bag. So what are you waiting for?? Go make some and enjoy it!
