salt

paprika

cayenne pepper

black pepper

Combine the salt, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a plastic bag and shake to mix.


From a native of New Orleans, this would be perfect if it had garlic powder, onion powder, celery salt and white pepper.  Also, replace the oregano with sage. Just a suggestion.

I needed cajun seasoning for a recipe and whipped this up in no time at all! I loved it as is but it's very spicy (it IS CAJUN sesoning after all). The nice thing about making your own is you can control and spice/salt in the seasoning!

I added garlic and onion powders to mine. Delish, and thanks for the post!

I have no idea if this tastes like cajun seasoning but it was spicy and used all spices I had on hand so it's a winner in my book. I so do not need to buy another spice. Have too many already! Thanks!

Thank goodness for this site and this recipe! Not only didn't I have to drive to the store (gas) in the midst of cooking (time) but this is a true cajun winner of a spice!!

I like salt but this was more on the salty side.

I can't believe practically no one else is complaining about the salt overkill!  There is WAY too much salt in this recipe.  It was almost inedible.  I would use maybe a teaspoon or two next time.  Watch out!

This was great!  I used it on top of "Hudson's Baked Tilapia with Dill Sauce" recipe on this site.  Very easy to make.  Thanks for sharing!
