Artisan, not sure. But delicious…I am certain. As I was catching up on all my food blogs this weekend, I came across a post on Serious Eats about Old Bay. Maybe my thoughts on the spice blend are wrapped up in nostalgia for my home state of Maryland, rather than good taste. But after one glance of that old classic tin, I was salivating at the thought of Old Bay caked onto fresh steamed crabs or smothered on tender, juicy shrimp. If you’ve never tried it, give it a whirl. There’s a nice recommendation for a Classic Shrimp Scampi recipe in the post.
