Old Bay Seasoning Blend - Make it Yourself 

Old Bay is an iconic seafood seasoning blend, but it can be used in so many different ways. From a popcorn sprinkle, salad and vegetable seasoning or an addition to an appetizer dip.
If you don't want to pay the price, which to me is exorbitant, or like me, it isn't available where you live, this is an easy way to still have that same great blend. Although you need a lot of different ingredients, many of them, you probably already have on hand.
Give it a try, it only takes a minute to put together and keeps for well into a year if stored correctly.
