When I went to an American-owned burger shop, I tried a sandwich filled with Cajun beef — and it was absolutely delicious!
That’s when I thought, “If I buy Cajun spice, maybe I can make this kind of American-style food at home anytime!”
Finally, I found this Cajun spice at Kaldi (a Japanese import food store).
It goes really well not only with beef but also with chicken and shrimp, so I’m planning to try it with different dishes.
It also pairs perfectly with rice, and I thought it would be great wrapped in a tortilla with some cheese — kind of like a Cajun beef taco!
It’s mildly spicy — even people who don’t like spicy food can enjoy it.
It has a garlicky, herby flavor with a strong aroma that fills your kitchen as soon as you start cooking.
