THE FAMOUS SEAFOOD SEASONING RECIPE
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
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.

- 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.

QUEENS OF QUISINE SEAFOOD SEASONING AND RUB
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! When testing the recipe, I prepared large wild Key West shrimp and stir-fried them with olive oil. Delicious!

SEASONING MIXTURE FOR FISH & SEAFOOD
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).

Tips for Using Seafood Seasoning:
- Always start with a small amount of seasoning and adjust to taste. Seafood is delicate, so it's easy to overpower it with too much seasoning.

- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to seasoning seafood. Try different combinations of herbs, spices, and citrus fruits to find your favorite flavors.
- Use fresh herbs and spices whenever possible. They will provide the best flavor.
- If you're using a store-bought seafood seasoning blend, read the label carefully. Some blends may contain salt, so you may need to adjust the amount of salt you add to your dish.
Conclusion:
Seafood seasoning is a versatile and flavorful way to enhance the taste of your favorite seafood dishes. With a little experimentation, you can create delicious meals that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're cooking seafood, don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. You might just be surprised at how delicious your food can be.
