What Does Cajun Seasoning Taste Like?

Cajun seasoning has a savory and smokey taste that is commonly found in traditional Louisiana dishes like gumbo. Some cajun spice blends are spicier than others, and while ours contains a very small amount of cayenne (helloooo, “Minnesota spicy” lovers!), you can feel free to amp up the spiciness by increasing the cayenne.
