It's just spices: Salt, celery seed, mustard, red pepper, black pepper, bay leaves, cloves, allspice (pimento), ginger, mace, cardamom, cinnamon, and paprika.
I use it in the water when I boil shrimp. Yum!

I boil for 7 minutes for raw, a little more for frozen. Most recipes will say to boil for less time - like 3-5 minutes - but I like my seafood really, really dead.
I just put on a big pot of water, throw in some Old Bay Seasoning (at least a Tablespoon), bring to a boil, and throw in the shrimp. I'll boil either zip-strip (head gone, shell on but split down the vein and de-veined) or peeled and deveined. I drain them in a colander, run cold water over, then throw some ice on to quick chill. Eat them right away or store in fridge. I love them with lemon and store-bought Heinz cocktail sauce.

I have a very limited seafood repertoire but growing up along the Gulf Coast I was pretty much required by law to know how to boil shrimp.
I haven't gotten around to trying any of them yet but I've seen a few people on the Food Network make fish in packets: fish, vegetables, seasonings, liquid wrapped in little foil packets and backed. They look yummy, easy, and foolproof. I'll post once I've tried some.
