Cajun Seasoning Spice Mix Recipe (All Around Seasoning!)

Cajun seasoning mix is a staple in our household. It goes well with poultry and shrimp and fits well with our dietary restrictions. It’s a quick way to add flavor to your food when you can set aside a little bit of time to make a batch!

We used to purchase premade cajun seasoning mix from a local shop, but I quickly realized it wasn’t ideal when a blend I bought was too spicy for me. After researching and tweaking the recipe to our liking, we’ve been using it as the flavor bomb for poultry and shrimp when I’m in a rush to cook (or even when I’m not!). Here’s a simple shrimp pita wrap recipe you can use it in!
