Notes from me: personally i dont think this makes enough for five people unless you're having TONS of sides with it. (it makes about three per person and that totally doesnt seem like enough for me) i like to double the recipe, then i have enough for quite a lot of people. and i get leftover that way. i also use more Old Bay than they suggest. but i like old bay A LOT!

OH! and as a note to all my land locked friends, its HARD to find Old Bay when you dont live near the ocean (since its kind of a sea food spice). but it can be found, just keep looking. i found it at Central Market (for any Austin friends). basically any store that has a lot of international/health food should be the kind of place you can find it. its not that expensive, but you may have to go to an expensive store to find it.
