1.5
tablespoons onion powder
1.5 tablespoons
garlic powder
2
teaspoons kosher salt
1
teaspoon chili powder
1
teaspoon tried thyme
1 teaspoon
dried oregano

Depends a ton on your individual tastes. Cajun seasonings are as varied as there are recipes for them. Most are based on paprika, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and cayenne, in that order. You can riff on it from there with a powdered bay leaf, celery seed, sugar, onion pepper, rosemary and basil. Some people also add coriander and cumin seed, but at that point it becomes more of a tex-mex seasoning than a cajun seasoning.
