Xanthan Gum Free Old Bay–Style Seasoning Blend
That warm, complex kick you get from a classic seafood seasoning blend is absolutely achievable at home — and this version is made entirely from pure dried herbs and spices with zero fillers, binders, or additives. Many commercial spice blends sneak in anti-caking agents or other additives that can be a real problem for anyone avoiding certain thickeners, so mixing your own is the smartest move. Every ingredient here is exactly what it says on the label: celery salt, turmeric, ginger, thyme, oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, Ceylon cinnamon, and a touch of cloves if you're feeling bold. The result is a deeply aromatic, slightly earthy blend with a gentle warmth that works beautifully on shrimp, crab, roasted potatoes, or even popcorn. Whisking everything together until no streaks of turmeric remain ensures you get that perfectly balanced flavor in every pinch. Stored in an airtight jar away from heat and light, this blend stays fresh for up to three months — ready to reach for whenever you need that signature coastal flavor without any second-guessing.
