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.

Enveloping the spectrum of spices used in North Africa and the Middle East, this combination has a spicy-smokey aroma and a bit of bite when eaten. Savory mixed with sweet, this rub can be used on fish and seafood, broiled, baked, stir-fried or grilled. Created to represent our ZWT 6 team in the Wild Card Challenge, I chose a wide variety of spices and brought them together to create a mysterious and delicious combination fit for royalty -- the Queens of Quisine!

SEASONING MIXTURE FOR FISH & SEAFOOD



Seasoning Mixture for Fish & Seafood image

I eat a fair amount of fish so I keep this handy in my kitchen. I find it flavorful enough that I don't miss salt. Good on fish or seafood, even in tuna sandwiches. Also good in salad dressing. If you don't think you'll use it very often, you can halve the recipe. All amounts listed are for dried ingredients (except lemon peel may be dried or fresh).
