Peanut Free Gluten Free Cajun Seasoning
Bold, smoky, and layered with heat, this homemade Cajun seasoning blend is the kind of pantry staple that makes everything it touches taste better. Store-bought spice mixes can be a minefield — many are processed on shared equipment alongside peanut-containing products, and the labels aren't always clear about it. Making your own from scratch means you know exactly what's going into the jar and exactly where every ingredient came from. The combination of smoked and sweet paprika gives it real depth, while cayenne and white pepper team up for a slow, building heat that doesn't quit. Dried oregano and thyme round things out with an earthy, herby backbone that keeps the blend versatile enough for chicken, shrimp, roasted vegetables, or a pot of gumbo. Just stir, seal, and you've got a reliable, flavor-packed blend ready to go for up to six months.
