Pecan Free Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
Seafood boils, crab cakes, and roasted corn all come alive with a bold, briny seasoning blend — and this homemade version delivers every bit of that classic coastal flavor. Every ingredient here is a pure dried herb or spice, so there's zero guesswork about what's actually inside the jar. Store-bought spice blends can be a minefield when it comes to shared processing facilities and undisclosed additives, but mixing your own at home puts you completely in control. The warm depth of Ceylon cinnamon and ginger plays beautifully against the savory backbone of celery salt, garlic, and onion powder, while the turmeric gives the blend a gorgeous golden hue. A quick whisk and a tight-lidded jar are all it takes, and you'll have a pantry staple that keeps for up to three months. Shake it over shrimp, stir it into a dipping sauce, or dust it on roasted potatoes — the possibilities are genuinely endless.
