Steps:
- While holding a pint canning jar at an angle, add ingredients to create a "sand art" look. The salt and cayenne may be divided into smaller portions and used to separate other spices. I found it simplest to use 7 cups--one with each spice in it--and add them to my jar with a spoon, as I want to create the special look.

Tips:
- Homemade Cajun seasoning is incredibly versatile. It adds a spicy, smoky flavor to chicken, fish, shrimp, pork, and vegetables.
- When substituting store-bought Cajun seasoning, use about 2/3 of the amount called for in the recipe. This is because homemade Cajun seasoning is more concentrated than store-bought.
- Feel free to adjust the heat level of your Cajun seasoning by adding more or less cayenne pepper. If you don't have cayenne pepper, you can substitute another type of chili pepper, such as paprika or ancho chili powder.
- Cajun seasoning can also be used as a dry rub for meats. Simply rub the seasoning all over the meat before cooking.
- Store Cajun seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will keep for up to 6 months.
