Cajun Blackened Seasoning

For a robust spicy flavor add cajun flavor and color to fried, baked or grilled meats, chicken and fish. Mix Cajun Blackened Seasoning into ground beef for cajun burgers. Try a sprinkle of cajun seasoning on eggs or vegetables. Blacken fish by oiling a pan, sprinkling with seasoning and baking, flip fish when done to coat top side. Try our Cajun Spiced Corn Chowder.
