I try to go with mainstream brands like McCormick, so that most everyone across America will likely be able to find them easily. If you’re trying some other brand, be aware that it will probably vary somewhat in the exact spice formulation, and quite possibly also in its level of spicy heat. You'll likely see a combination including things like black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, chili pepper, salt, and paprika. But the exact spice mix varies from one brand to the next, and can also vary, of course, if you opt to use a homemade Cajun seasoning. So, you may need to slightly adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning you use in this recipe to taste. Also, you may need to slightly teak the amount of kosher salt you're adding, depending on the amount of salt that's included in your Cajun seasoning blend.
