CAJUN-SPICED POPCORN
This recipe came from Alan (my best friend in college). His parents are from Louisiana and this was his mom's recipe. We used to have poker parties all the time and this was one of our favorite things to serve. Popcorn is cheap, so we made a lot of different flavored popcorns.

- Enjoy the popcorn! Serve it immediately or store it in an airtight container for later.
