Noteworthy
Use organic ingredients whenever possible. Most other cajun seasonings are salt and cayenne pepper based, which often ends up being too spicy or salty. TDon’s Cajun is all natural and uniquely robust, with no added salt, putting you in the driver’s seat in regards to the amount of heat and salt you desire in your cajun and creole dishes. For an added pop, add your favorite hot sauce and a splash of lime!
