DELMARVA SEASONING (OLD BAY SUBSTITUTE)
As all you crab afficionados know, the term "Delmarva" refers to the coastal areas bordering on the states of Delaware (Del), Maryland (mar)and Virginia (va) where the world's best crabmeat is harvested. Thing is that a lot of people go to a lot of trouble (and a lot of expense) to buy the best lump crabmeat available -- but then they use a mass-produced commercial product to season it. Weird! This recipe for 'homemade' seasoning is courtesy of Epicurious. All you Old Bay die-hards, I defy you to try it and tell me you can't taste a difference!! :)

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients, stirring well to mix.
- Stored in a tightly-sealed container in a cool, dark place, seasonings will keep indefinitely.
- (Note: To give you a hint of how far this will go -- My favorite crab cake recipe is #81656 by pgserver6. To serve 10 people, this calls for 2 teaspoons of seasoning.).
Tips:
- While using smoked paprika as an Old Bay seasoning substitute, adjust the amount according to your taste preference. Start with a small quantity and gradually increase until you achieve the desired flavor.
- If you're aiming for a spicier substitute, cayenne pepper or chili powder can be added to the smoked paprika and garlic powder mixture. Adjust the quantities based on your heat tolerance.
- For a more robust flavor profile, consider adding a pinch of ground cloves or allspice to the smoked paprika and garlic powder combination.
- When substituting Old Bay seasoning in seafood dishes, use a combination of lemon pepper and dill weed for a similar taste profile.
- Store your homemade Old Bay seasoning substitute in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain its freshness and potency.
Conclusion:
In the absence of Old Bay seasoning, home cooks can easily create a flavorful substitute using readily available ingredients like smoked paprika, garlic powder, and other spices. By experimenting with different combinations and adjusting the proportions based on personal preferences, it's possible to achieve a seasoning blend that closely resembles the original. Whether it's for seafood dishes, chicken, vegetables, or dips, this homemade substitute offers a convenient and delicious alternative to store-bought Old Bay seasoning.
