My mom grew up in Baltimore and in that region of the states it’s all about the fresh crab and shrimp cooked with Old Bay. I grew up loving Old Bay and just the smell of it brings me back to eating crabs, crab soup, crab cakes, you name it…yum! If you’ve never heard of Old Bay (where have you been?!! Just Kidding!), it’s spicy blend of celery salt (salt, celery seed), spices (including mustard, red pepper, black pepper, bay [laurel] leaves, cloves, allspice [pimento], ginger, mace, cardamom, cinnamon, and paprika (<–ingredients list taken right off the can!) You just can’t beat it! Once you try it you will never want your shrimp or crabs cooked any other way which is exactly why we love they Old Bay Grilled Shrimp Recipe…it’s crazy good and goes fast!
