Recipe:

Seafood Boil Spice Blend

INGREDIENTS:

● 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning (a classic choice for seafood boils) house made /store bought

● 1 tablespoon paprika

● 1 tablespoon garlic powder

● 1 tablespoon onion powder

● 1 tablespoon dried thyme

● 1 tablespoon dried oregano

● 1 tablespoon black pepper

● 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your desired level of spiciness)

● 2 teaspoons salt (adjust according to your taste and the saltiness of the seafood)

● 1 teaspoon ground mustard seeds (optional, but adds a nice tangy flavor)

● 1 teaspoon celery seeds (optional, for a touch of freshness)

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a bowl, mix together all the spices and herbs until they are well combined. Taste the spice mix and adjust the seasonings according to your preference. If you like it spicier, add more cayenne pepper. If you want it milder, reduce the amount of cayenne. The spice mix is now ready to be used for your seafood boil!
