Spicy Cajun Peanuts Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

These hot and savory spiced peanuts are coated with a blend of cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper. The peanuts are cooked in a skillet in a small amount of oil until they're warm and well coated with the seasonings. If you prefer a tex-mex flavor, toss them with some chili powder or try a seasoned salt if you have a favorite blend. We think mesquite seasoning or a similar seasoning would work as well. See the expert tips below for a homemade salt-free cajun seasoning blend. The spicy peanuts make a tasty snack for a game day crowd or holiday party.
