Notes
- Letting this sauce rest for 30 minutes after you make it is an important part of this recipe. If you taste the sauce right after you mix it, it will be bland and a little gritty. After half an hour, the spices soften and the flavor infuses the mayo and it becomes absolutely delicious.
- Cajun Seasoning
- If you don't have Cajun seasoning in your pantry, you can make your own! This is a half portion of our Cajun seasoning recipe and will make 6 tablespoons. You can use the rest on chicken, salmon, potatoes, or roast veggies!
- 1 ½ tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon EACH: onion powder and garlic powder
- ½ tablespoon EACH: thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne
