Alpha Gal Friendly Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
Seafood seasoning blends are a staple in so many kitchens, but store-bought versions can hide surprising ingredients that make them off-limits for people managing alpha-gal syndrome. This homemade blend solves that problem completely, putting you in full control of every single component. The combination of celery salt, turmeric, ginger, and a warm hit of Ceylon cinnamon creates that bold, complex flavor you'd expect from a classic seafood spice mix — without any mystery additives. Dried thyme, oregano, and basil round out the herbaceous backbone, while garlic and onion powder add savory depth that makes this blend incredibly versatile. It comes together in minutes with a simple whisk, and once it's sealed in a jar, you've got a reliable pantry staple ready to go for up to three months. Shake it over shrimp, stir it into sauces, or use it anywhere you'd reach for a classic spice blend — the flavor payoff is seriously satisfying.
