Make your own Cajun spice blend in 5 minutes with pantry staples, paprika, garlic, cayenne & herbs. Easy homemade seasoning to spice up chicken, shrimp, and more. One of the things I love most about cooking is how a simple spice blend can turn an ordinary meal into something bold, smoky, and deeply flavorful. That’s exactly what happened to me when I first made this Homemade Cajun Spice Seasoning, a mix I like to keep in a small jar on my shelf, ready to transform any dish into a lightly spiced, aromatic adventure. I was experimenting with different ways to channel some heat and depth into my cooking without relying on store-bought mixes. I knew I didn’t want a bland, one-dimensional “seasoning salt.” I wanted something bright, complex, and flexible enough to go on chicken, fish, rice, even roasted vegetables.
