As a cajun I made this mix because we are trying to watch out salt intake. I made it without the thyme and oregano because those aren't typical in cajun seasoning. And I added a little chili powder. These two revisions made a perfect spicy cajun seasoning mix without salt!

A lot of the Cajun recipes I make contain sausage, and regular Cajun seasoning can be too salty. This is just perfect, and a giant step up from storebought! Thanks, Kitten!

Mixed this up to use in another recipe I wanted to make & found it so much better (as have the other reviewers) than the store-bought seasoning! Definitely will be using this much more now that I know about it!

Most Cajun seasonings are too salty for me. I wanted to make my own Recipe #248904 using something other than old bay or all the other salty seasonings out there. This was absolutely delicious in this stew and was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!

Loved the simplicity and spicy flavor of this Cajun Seasoning, and didn't miss the salt at all! Used it in Cajun Jambalaya, and can't wait to try it in Shrimp Gumbo. Wonderful! Great item to keep handy in the spice pantry. Thanks for posting, Kittencal!:) Becky
