Becca's Seafood Seasoning
10 minute prep
In the United States, seafood seasoning became more distinct in the 19th and 20th centuries. Maryland and Louisiana developed bold, spicy blends that became iconic. Old Bay Seasoning: Created in 1939 by Gustav Brunn, a German immigrant in Baltimore, Old Bay became synonymous with Chesapeake Bay seafood, especially crabs and shrimp. The blend includes celery salt, paprika, black pepper, red pepper, and other spices.
I created Becca's Seafood Seasoning years ago when I wanted to have a great tasting seasoning that was homemade and also didn't have so much salt. I think this does the trick. This seasoning has a unique flavor that helps spice up any dish.
