Gluten Free Cajun Spinach and Salmon Recipe
If it’s too cold to go outside and barbecue, that’s OK! You can still get all the flavor and smokiness of an old-fashioned cookout in your kitchen, in your very own slow cooker.
This is one of my favorite indoor barbecue recipes, I hope you enjoy it!
Cajun seasoning will provide a smoky heat to any of your favorite foods. I like it on sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, and sometimes just sprinkled on a bowl of buttered rice. Here is a homemade mix you can make to keep in the cabinet in an airtight container.
