This recipe is great on those days when you need to place everything in the pot and move on to the next task. The key to a good boil is making sure you add enough seasoning to flavor all the different ingredients sufficiently, but don’t worry: This recipe has you covered with a spicy Cajun seasoning and the classic Old Bay Seasoning. If you don’t have a go-to Cajun seasoning, try Slap Ya Mama seasoning, which is found in most grocery stores in the spice aisle.
