Notes
- The cayenne pepper and cajun seasoning are what bring the heat to this spice blend. Omit cajun seasoning it or reduce the amount you use if you aren’t a fan of spicy foods, though we’ve found that this recipe isn’t overly spicy as-is. You can also find pre-packaged blackened seasoning at the store.
