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.

Steps:
- Mix all of the spices together. Done!
Tips:
- Use fresh spices: Freshly ground spices have a more intense flavor than pre-ground spices. If possible, buy whole spices and grind them yourself just before using.
- Toast your spices: Toasting spices before using them can help to release their flavor and aroma. To toast spices, heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the spices. Cook, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant and slightly darkened, about 1-2 minutes.
- Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. The more spices you use, the more complex and flavorful your dish will be.
- Start with a small amount of spice and add more to taste: It's easy to add more spice, but it's difficult to remove it. So start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Store spices properly: Spices should be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place. Store spices in airtight containers to prevent them from losing their flavor and aroma.
Conclusion:
Cajun spice mix is a versatile and flavorful blend of spices that can be used to add a kick to a variety of dishes. It is perfect for seasoning chicken, fish, shrimp, vegetables, and rice. Cajun spice mix is also a great addition to soups, stews, and gumbos. With its bold and spicy flavor, Cajun spice mix is sure to add a little excitement to your next meal.
