This DIY Cajun seasoning is bold, smoky, and has just the right kick. No fillers. No extra salt if you don’t want it. Just real flavor that tastes like home.
And the best part? You probably already have most of this in your spice rack.
Homemade Cajun Seasoning Recipe
Makes about 1/2 cup. Double it for your big crawfish boil!
You’ll need:
4 tsp chili powder - for that warm base heat
2 tsp kosher salt - brings it all together
2 tsp onion powder - savory depth
1 tsp ground black pepper - bite and warmth
1 tsp garlic powder - because everything’s better with garlic
1 tsp smoked paprika - for color and a little sweetness
1 tsp dried thyme - that earthy Louisiana flavor

Instructions:
Add all 7 spices to a small bowl.
Whisk together until it’s one beautiful, red Cajun blend.
Taste it. Adjust it. That’s how we do it.
How to Use It
Shake this on everything:
Boudin dip before it goes in the oven
Shrimp and crawfish boils
Blackened fish or chicken
Roasted potatoes and veggies
Gumbo, dirty rice, etouffee
Store It Right
Cajun seasoning loses its magic when air gets to it.
Keep your blend in an airtight container in a cool, dark pantry. It’ll stay fresh and strong for up to 6 months.
Just grab a spoon and season by feel — just like Mama taught us.

Why Make Your Own?
Store-bought is fine. But homemade is you.
You control the salt. You control the heat. And when someone asks “what’s your secret?” you can say “I made it myself, sha.”
When love gets the last word, it’s seasoned right.
With love and just the right seasoning,
