DIY Old Bay Seasoning

Old Bay Seasoning

As we are in August, I am sure many of you either have, are planning on, or know someone going crabbing. Now I don’t know about you, but when it comes to cooking crabs, chicken,  and shrimp I LOVE using Old Bay Seasoning, but we all know it’s fairly expensive, so I bring you a DIY (not quite a famous restaurant recipe) version of Old Bay Seasoning.

To make your very own Old Bay Seasoning, just follow the below recipe, and a Thanks to Lifehacker for sharing this.

1 tbsp. ground bay leaves
2 1/2 tsp. celery salt
1 1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1 1/2 tsp. black pepper
3/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. red pepper
1/4 tsp. ground mace (optional)
1/4 tsp. ground cardamom (optional)

Combine all ingredients:  store in an airtight container.

Use on Shrimp, Chicken, Crabs!
