Pardi Gras Seafood Seasoning brings the energy of Strange Delight, Ham El-Waylly’s Brooklyn restaurant, straight to your kitchen. Rooted in New Orleans traditions with a distinctly New York edge, this blend is vibrant, expressive and made to pardi.
The flavor hits in layers: aromatic spices up front, lingering heat, subtle sweetness and a whisper of smoke that ties everything together. It’s bold and savory, designed to enhance seafood while still playing well with vegetables and fried foods.
As Ham puts it, “My favorite way to use Pardi Gras is irresponsibly.” He reaches for it as a seasoning base for hearty soups and stews, a finishing touch on anything fried, from shrimp to saltine crackers, or a memorable marinade for fish, chicken and pork. Use it generously, use it often and don’t overthink it. This blend is all about big flavor and good times.
