Celery Free Gluten Free Cajun Seasoning
Cajun seasoning is one of those pantry staples that can transform a simple chicken breast, shrimp, or roasted veggie into something seriously craveable. The problem with store-bought blends is that they often sneak in unexpected fillers or are processed on shared equipment — and for anyone avoiding certain ingredients, that uncertainty gets old fast. This homemade blend puts you fully in control, built from nothing but pure spices you likely already have on hand. Smoked and sweet paprika work together to create that deep, complex base, while cayenne, black pepper, and white pepper layer in a bold, satisfying heat. Garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and thyme round everything out with that unmistakable Southern soul. Stir it together in minutes, seal it in a jar, and you've got a reliable, flavor-packed blend ready to go for up to six months. Once you make your own, it's genuinely hard to go back to the store-bought stuff.
