For a smoother texture, use whipped cream cheese in place of half of the mayonnaise. Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preference. Start with 1 teaspoon and add more to taste. If you don't have red pepper jelly, try using a sweet chili sauce for a similar flavor profile. For a festive presentation, serve the Cajun Caviar in a hollowed-out bell pepper.
