Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

A good seasoning blend makes all the difference in some zesty shrimp or tilapia. The brilliance of this blend comes from the contrast in spices. Herby bay leaves with warming ginger and nutmeg.

1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons celery salt
1 1/2 tablespoon ground bay leaves
1 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Combine all the ingredients and mix well. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 4 months.
