This blend is mainly made for cooking seafood as the main seasoning or to use as the finish topping at the end. It can be used in any seafood recipes, sauces, dips or just dash it on top for a great spicy taste. For fish and shrimp, just sprinkle the Surf seasoning on it, then grill, bake, or fry. For shellfish, add the seasoning to the boil, butter, or garlic mixture. To make a great easy marinara, add fresh garlic, cabernet wine, add the Surf seasoning before adding the mussels or clams in, cover for a couple minutes until they open, lastly add the pasta and then serve.
