Brazil Nut Free Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
Spice blends are one of those pantry staples that seem simple until you start reading labels and realize how many commercial versions are processed on shared equipment with tree nuts. This homemade version puts you fully in control, built entirely from dried herbs and ground spices with zero hidden surprises. The combination of celery salt, turmeric, ginger, and warm aromatics like cloves and Ceylon cinnamon creates that same bold, savory-meets-complex depth you'd expect from a classic seafood seasoning — but made entirely on your own terms. Whisking until no streaks of turmeric remain is a small step that makes a big difference, giving you a beautifully even blend every single time. Store it in an airtight jar and it'll stay fresh and punchy for up to three months, ready to shake onto shrimp, roasted vegetables, popcorn, or anything else that needs a serious flavor upgrade. Once you make your own, it's genuinely hard to go back to the store-bought stuff.
