Old Bay Seasoning alternative?

Im making grilled shrimp and I need Old Bay Seasoning, but i cant find it. Is there any alternative seasoning that i can use that is about same or has some of the same contents? Anyone know?

Answer 1

I know what you mean about not being able to find Old Bay Seasoning!  I moved from Baltimore to the Midwest a few years ago and couldn't find Old Bay.  I asked my grocer.  I was looking in the wrong place.  I was looking in the spice aisle.  It was in the seafood section.  Also, the grocer told me that sometimes the store will special order ingredients for customers.

Answer 2

I found 2 recipes for Old Bay Seasoning:  you can see the ingredients (a few of them surprised me!).  Maybe you could make your own Old Bay!  I am surprised you couldnt find it, it's everywhere (did u try Target or Walmart)?

Answer 3

I don't remember what's in Old Bay's, but just use some Lawry's seasoned salt or make your own concoction.  

Lemon, bay, dill... whatever you want... be creative.

Answer 4

Use some shrimp bouillon or fish boiullon that works well that is what i use found by the other soup bouillons or in the Latin Food isle next to their bouillons. Good luck. Did try next to your seafood counter?
