OLD BAY® Seasoning Recipes
OLD BAY® Seasoning is a bold pantry spice blend best known for adding savory, peppery, slightly smoky flavor to seafood recipes. It is especially popular in crab boils, steamed shrimp, crab cakes, fish fries, and creamy seafood dips.
Beyond seafood, this seasoning works well anywhere you want a quick hit of coastal-inspired flavor. Sprinkle it over roasted potatoes, corn on the cob, deviled eggs, popcorn, chicken wings, fries, or vegetables before serving.
Because OLD BAY® Seasoning is already salty and highly seasoned, add it gradually and taste as you cook. It can be used as a dry rub, stirred into sauces, mixed into breading, or added to melted butter for an easy finishing drizzle.
