Cajun Spice Mix

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

    White pepper, 1.5 Tablespoons
