Notes

  • If your spice cabinet is not overflowing like mine, try the two-ingredient substitute for Old Bay. Or one of the shop-bought alternatives on the list of substitutes.
  • Or, if you have a fully stocked spice cabinet but no spice grinder, try the Old Bay substitute recipe with ground ingredients only.
  • You can make your own celery salt or add two teaspoons of celery seeds and one teaspoon of salt to replace the tablespoon of celery salt.
