The post What’s Old Bay Seasoning? appeared first on thedancingcucumber.com.
]]>Old Bay is popular in the mid-Atlantic and Southern regions of the U.S., and it’s used across the country to add a spicy, citrusy flavor to seafood dishes.
According to the Baltimore Sun, the spice blend is named after the Old Bay Line, a local steamship that traveled from Baltimore to Norfolk, Virginia during the early 20th century. It was invented by Gustav Brunn, a German-Jewish immigrant, who was trying to find the perfect seasoning for crab. Since then, it has been used for lobster rolls, crab cakes, shrimp, corn on the cob, and deviled eggs.
The seasoning is actually pretty easy to make, and all you need to do is combine celery salt, paprika, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, mustard powder, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, ground allspice, ground cloves, and ground ginger.
