Soy Free Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend

Store-bought seasoning blends are sneaky — fillers, anti-caking agents, and unexpected additives can make even a simple spice jar a gamble when you're avoiding soy. Making your own means you know exactly what's going in, and this blend delivers that bold, briny, warmly spiced flavor you'd expect from a classic seafood seasoning. Celery salt and a generous lineup of dried herbs form the backbone, while turmeric and ginger add an earthy depth that makes the whole thing feel a little more complex than the original. A whisper of Ceylon cinnamon and optional cloves round out the profile with just enough warmth to keep things interesting. The whole process takes minutes — just whisk everything together until the turmeric is fully incorporated and no streaks remain, then seal it up in a jar. It keeps for up to three months at room temperature, so you can batch it ahead and reach for it whenever shrimp, corn, potatoes, or roasted veggies need a serious flavor boost. Once you have a homemade jar on the shelf, it's hard to go back to anything pre-packaged.
