Grandma Selena’s Spicy Seafood Blend- A Love Letter from the Coast to Your Soul

Bring the soul of the coast to your kitchen with Grandma Selena’s Seafood Blend—a rich, herbaceous, and spicy seasoning inspired by my beloved great-grandmother, Selena. This handcrafted blend honors Southern Black coastal cooking traditions, blending paprika, lemon, herbs, and warm spices to elevate shrimp boils, crab cakes, fish, gumbo, and more. My great grandmother taught my grandfather C.R. how to cook, and he in turn gave my mother a love for seafood that meant that every Friday or any special day, our home would have a cooler of live crab fresh from the Georgia coast. She’d season them and cook them off in a pot as tall as I was at the time, or my dad would grill them up. Someone would break open a few and give me the sweetest, most tender crab meat you could imagine. This blend captures that feeling.  

Made in small batches with love and consideration for my ancestors who made their living from the sea, this blend is vibrant, savory, and full of bold, clean flavor. Whether you’re grilling, frying, or stewing, Grandma Selena’s Seafood Blend adds depth, warmth, and a taste of home.

Note: this blend contains shellfish and is not recommended for people with shellfish allergies or intolerances.
