Notes
- Cajun spice rub can be stored in an airtight container for at least 3 months. No need to refrigerate.
- Increase or decrease the cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes to your liking but I don't recommend leaving them out completely. At least a good dash of cayenne adds a nice complexity to the mix without adding heat.
