Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc

Cajun works really well with Albarino, rosé Wine, and Sauvignon Blanc. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. You could try Familia Torres Pazo das Bruxas Albarino. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.
