## Tips

- When selecting a "blackened" or "Cajun" seasoning, I recommend finding one where the first/primary ingredient is paprika, and one that contains no salt.
- Store in your freezer for up to 3-4 months, pop in the microwave with a splash of milk or broth, and you have a high protein, indulgent meal ready to go whenever you want it.
