How to Use Traditional Cajun Seasoning

Cooking with cajun seasonings has become quite popular. Everyone is always looking for ways to add a little zest into their traditional recipes. Most cajun seasonings consist of cayenne pepper and paprika, but some will also use onion and garlic powder. You can create your own seasoning or even find them combined into one.

• Buy a pre-packaged cajun seasoning and add it to your traditional dishes, such as gumbo. Gumbo is very popular in the south, and it is very simple to make at home. If you are feeding some people who are not fond of a lot of spicy dishes, you do not need to add very much to get the spice you desire.


• Pack a punch into entertaining by adding cajun seasonings to all of your appetizers. Some of the more popular appetizers to add seasonings to are french fries or even buffalo wings.


• Add cajun seasonings to meat. The most popular meat to spice up with cajun seasonings is chicken. If you are cooking a whole chicken in a rotissarie or even in a crock pot, sprinkle a little bit of cajun seasoning to pack a punch to a traditional dish.


• Turn bland veggies to flavorful foods with cajon seasonings. Keep in mind that you do not need a lot of seasoning to give your veggies a bold flavor. 


• Sprinkle a tiny bit of cajun seasoning onto beef before broiling. Broiling is a quick way to make a meal, but often times people find broiled meats to be bland. Cajun seasonings will take care of this.
