Creole Seasoning (Old Bay) image

The original 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.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp ground celery seed or celery powder
2 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp ground bay leaf
2 tsp paprika, smoked
1/2 tsp ground caramom
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp allspice
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Blend ingredients in a blender or spice grinder to a medium grind consistency. Combine all ingredients in an airtight container and shake well. Store in a cool, dry place.
  • 2. I save the empty large spice containers and reuse them for my spice blends.
  • 3. I've reduced the amount of salt and I use celery powder instead of celery seed. I also use cayenne pepper instead of red pepper flakes. If you are watching your salt intake, just omit the salt all together and or use a salt substitute.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I found this Creole seasoning to be surprisingly mild. It had just the right amount of heat to give my dishes a little kick without being overwhelming. I'm definitely going to be using this seasoning more often.

I'm from Louisiana, and I can tell you that this Creole seasoning is the real deal. It's got all the right spices and herbs to give your food that authentic Cajun flavor. I used it to make a pot of gumbo, and it was a hit with my family and friends.

I tried this seasoning on my grilled chicken, and it was delicious! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the seasoning gave it a nice crispy crust. I'm excited to try it on other dishes.

This Creole seasoning is a game-changer! It added so much flavor to my shrimp boil. The Old Bay gave it a nice kick, and the other spices perfectly complemented the seafood. I'll definitely be using this seasoning again.
