This seasoning blend is bold, fragrant and complex and is easy to make if you keep my 26 essential spice blend stocked.
Traditionally used for crab and shrimp boils, this blend is also used on grilled corn, seafood, shrimp, potato salad, or deviled eggs. And I love it in my smoked salmon dip or for crab cakes.
