I tend to just sprinkle this Cajun Style Dry Rub or seasoning blend on before grilling or roasting. I particularly love it on chicken, shrimp, potatoes, and zucchini, and cauliflower steaks! My recent Cajun Shrimp and Grits Recipe was so easy and an absolute hit with this ready-to-go seasoning! And my Vegetarian Creamy Cajun Beans and Cauliflower over Quinoa is a meatless marvel with this blend!
Here are some other ideas for using this Cajun Seasoning:

How long will this seasoning last in the pantry?
This Cajun seasoning will last at least one year stored in a cool dry pantry.
Can I used table salt vs. Kosher salt?
Yes, you can use table salt. In fact, you can leave the salt out all together and add salt directly to whatever you are cooking.
