Cajun Garlic Butter Clams

Been meaning to make this dish. Has been on my list for a while. My first take came out bad. I used too much butter and not enough of spice blend, also i think I don’t need salt in my spice blend because I am using salted butter. Still trying to work that part out. I am happy though with my cajun spice blend to share with y’all!!
