A.M. Braswell Jr. Food Co. Inc. Blackened Seafood Seasoning
What it is
This is a blend of spices designed to impart a bold, savory flavor with a hint of heat. It typically includes paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and other herbs and spices. The combination creates a distinctive crust when used in cooking.
How people cook with it
This seasoning is excellent for adding depth and character to a variety of seafood dishes. It can also be used on other meats and vegetables.
- Seasoning fish fillets
- Rub for shrimp
- Flavoring crab cakes
- Dusting chicken breasts
To use, generously coat your chosen seafood or other ingredients with the seasoning blend before cooking. It can be applied directly before pan-searing, grilling, or baking. For a more intense flavor, you can mix the seasoning with a little oil or butter to create a paste and then rub it onto the food. Ensure an even coating for consistent flavor distribution during the cooking process.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike a simple salt and pepper mix, this seasoning offers a complex flavor profile with smoky and spicy notes. It's specifically formulated to create a dark, flavorful crust characteristic of blackened cooking techniques.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking to easily achieve restaurant-style blackened flavors will find this seasoning useful.
How to keep the rest
Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps preserve the freshness and potency of the spices. Proper storage ensures the seasoning remains flavorful for future use.
