Substitute Seafood Seasoning (Old Bay Copycat)

I didn't have any Old Bay seasoning when I made those delish crab cakes the other day (click here for that post) but didn't realize that until I was in the middle of mixing the crab cake ingredients together - ugh. I googled to see how hard it was to make and found a recipe on allrecipes.com that includes spices I have on hand - easy and turned out good. Not exactly Old Bay but it's a good substitute and will be good on other things as well.


 Mix together:

• 2 tablespoons celery salt
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 pinch dry mustard
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg

• 1 pinch ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch ground cardamom
• 1 pinch ground allspice
• 1 pinch ground cloves
• 1 pinch ground ginger
