Cajun Beer-Battered Onion Rings

"Just wait until you try these onion rings!!!! These are still wonderful without the Cajun seasoning too! Adjust the Cajun seasoning to taste. Use a sweet onion such as Vidalia or Spanish for this. If you don't have any Cajun seasoning handy you can use seasoned salt and 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper."
