Rice Free Gluten Free Cajun Seasoning
Cajun seasoning is one of those pantry staples that can transform a plain piece of chicken, a pot of shrimp, or a pile of roasted vegetables into something seriously craveable. The problem with store-bought blends is that fillers and anti-caking agents — sometimes derived from starch — can sneak into the mix, making label-reading a frustrating chore. This homemade version keeps things clean and straightforward, built entirely from dried herbs and spices you likely already have on your shelf. Smoked and sweet paprika work together to create that deep, slightly smoky backbone, while cayenne, black pepper, and white pepper layer in a heat that builds without overwhelming. Garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and thyme round everything out with that unmistakable Southern soul. A quick stir and a sealed jar is all it takes, and the blend stays fresh for up to six months so you can reach for it whenever the mood strikes.
