Notes

Storage

Keep the seasoning in a sealed, airtight container to protect it from air exposure and moisture. Then, store it in a cool, dry place away from heat sources or direct sunlight. It’ll be good for up to six months.
Since seasonings tend to lose potency over time, it’s best to make smaller quantities than big batches. That way, you’ll always have the freshest Cajun seasoning when needed!
