I'm so excited!!! Can you tell!!! This is my first give away!!!

Not only having the give away but having it for a product that I really love.

Good luck to everyone and please, please leave me comments......I want to see lots of names! Just make sure I have a way to contact you to let you know that you won!

Now for a great Old Bay recipe. This comes from a little cookbook that we put together at my youngest son's preschool several years ago. You can really vary this recipe and add veggies to it. It calls for green onions and mushrooms and I didn't have any on hand so they were omitted but that didn't really matter. I also used 3 well rounded teaspoons of Old Bay instead of 3 tablespoons the recipe called for. I think it would also be great with parmesean cheese. I will try adding that next time. This is one of those recipes you can just "play around" with.

Enjoy!

1 stick of butter
1 bunch green onions (chopped)
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
8 oz whipping cream
3 tbsp Old Bay Seasoning
1 box linguini (cooked and drained- do not rinse)

Melt butter in a skillet; saute onion, mushrooms and garlic; add shrimp to stir fry; add whipping cream and Old Bay; simmer until heated; serve over cooked linguini.

I feel a little embarrassed admitting that I've never actually used Old Bay before. My kids love pasta and although I don't make it much, also love shrimp. Looks like a great combination!

I love Old Bay! We used to live on the Potomac River and eating blue crabs covered in this stuff was part of our regular meals. I haven't had them since I was a kid, but I'll never forget how good they were!

We use so much Old Bay seasoning at the beach. I like to make shrimp cakes with it as I am allergic to crab cakes. Your shrimp is making me hungry:)

What a wonderful give away!! I have to tell you I made the blueberry lemon bars and they were wonderful!! I used parchment paper and didn't have a problem getting them out of the pan. I'll be posting about them soon!

Yay, for giveaways! My honey is from Maryland and LOVES, I mean LOVES that stuff. I personally like their rub a little better it's less salty.

I've made similar versions of this recipe. As you said its adaptable and I'm certain there's no wrong way.

Thanks!

I actually have never tasted old bay, but I love seafood, so I think I should remedy that! Lovely pasta!! :)

I love old bay seasoning. My favorite is to use it in a shrimp boil. Add some andouille sausage, corn, and potatoes and you have one complete meal!

Linguini looks amazing! I have only had Old Bay in a crab boil, I guess I had no idea you could use it in anything else!

I love Old Bay too. I use it in my mock crab cakes. They are amazingly delicious and have no crab in them- zucchini. Go figure.
