Coconut Free Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
That bold, briny seasoning you reach for on seafood and roasted vegetables can be surprisingly tricky to replicate at home when you need to avoid coconut-derived additives — and plenty of commercial spice blends sneak them in through anti-caking agents or filler ingredients. This from-scratch blend puts you fully in control, built from a lineup of pure dried herbs and spices you can verify yourself. Celery salt and garlic powder lay down the savory backbone, while turmeric and ginger add warmth and a gorgeous golden hue. Ceylon cinnamon keeps things subtly sweet rather than sharp, and the optional cloves push the depth even further if you're feeling bold. Everything comes together in a single bowl with just a whisk — no cooking, no special equipment, no guesswork. Sealed in an airtight jar, it stays fresh for up to three months, so you can shake it over shrimp, corn, fries, or anything else that needs a serious flavor upgrade.
