THE FAMOUS SEAFOOD SEASONING RECIPE



The Famous Seafood Seasoning Recipe image

This one really wasn't that hard to crack...The ingredients are printed on the container! The only difficult part was working out the correct ratios for each spice, or herb... But patient perseverance, and good ol' 'trial and error' saved the day. The original Old Bay® Seasoning was invented in the 1940's by an American-German immigrant named Gustav Brunn. Initially, it was intended only for use on crab meat (as there was plenty of it in the Chesapeake Bay area where Gustav lived!), but in the last decade or so, it's used in other food areas, such as poultry and salads.

SEAFOOD MAGIC SEASONING-COPYCAT



Seafood Magic Seasoning-Copycat image

The original spice by Chef Paul Prudhomme is varied in texture-crushed spices, smaller bits and a bit larger bits. For best results a mortar and pestle should be used and not a spice grinder. Alternatively, you could mix ingredients and put into a pepper grinder and see how that works...haven't tried that yet. This makes enough for about 4 servings. You can multiply the ingredients to get the amount you need for storage.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground annatto seed (for red coloring more than for flavor)
2 teaspoons Hungarian paprika
1/4 teaspoon sage
1/4 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon ground ancho chili pepper, powdered (or powdered pasilla chilis)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients with a whisk and then grind in a mortar and pestle until above mentioned texture is obtained.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months for best flavor.
  • Re: the powdered chili peppers.You should not use chili powder, but rather the powdered chilis. Use the internet to find the best variety of spices. I like a company called Mild Bills for good bulk spices that are not overly expensive.
  • For example, Pasilla chilis have quick heat with a slight smoky flavor. Dark & roasty, with a heat Factor of 3.
