Additional recipe notes
For a more saucy version, add half a can of crushed tomato instead of Tomato paste. Here is my Homemade Cajun Seasoning recipe. This recipe doesn’t have salt, so make sure you add salt while adding the seasoning. Most of the packaged seasonings are high on salt and can be spicy. So adjust the quantity of salt accordingly.
Storage & reheating safety
For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
