Citric Acid Free Gluten Free Cajun Seasoning
Most store-bought Cajun blends are loaded with anti-caking agents, natural flavors, and hidden additives that can sneak citric acid into your spice rack without a second glance. This homemade blend puts you fully in control, using nothing but pure dried herbs and spices you can verify yourself. The combination of smoked and sweet paprika gives it real depth, while cayenne, white pepper, and black pepper layer in a bold, slow-building heat that tastes anything but basic. Dried oregano and thyme round everything out with that classic Southern soul, and garlic and onion powder tie it all together into something genuinely craveable. It takes about two minutes to stir together and keeps for up to six months in a sealed jar, so you can batch it out and have it ready whenever a recipe calls for a Cajun kick. Sprinkle it on chicken, shrimp, roasted vegetables, or anything else that needs a little Louisiana-inspired fire — no label-reading required.
