Recipe: Homemade Crab and Seafood Seasoning (Cuisinart recipe)

CRAB AND SEAFOOD SEASONING

"This seasoning can be very versatile - perfect in crab cakes but also a great seasoning for poultry and French fries!"

1 tablespoon celery seed
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
4 whole cardamom pods, hulled, casings discarded
4 bay leaves, torn into 3 to 4 pieces
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon paprika
3 to 4 whole cloves

Place all spices in the bowl of the Cuisinart Spice & Nut Grinder. Pulse 5 times and then process until finely ground, about 20 seconds.

Use immediately or contain in a sealed glass jar. Store in a dry, cool place.

Makes about 1/4 cup
