Witch Trials Escapes: The Story of My Narrow Getaway

I sidestepped the Salem witch trials by **keeping to myself**. In the late 17th century, accusations of witchcraft were rampant in Salem, Massachusetts. Many innocent people were accused and hanged for supposedly practicing witchcraft. Knowing the dangers of being falsely accused, I chose to **avoid any suspicion** by staying out of the limelight and maintaining a low profile. I refrained from speaking out against the accusations, as doing so might have drawn attention to myself and potentially put me at risk. Instead, I **focused on my own affairs**, keeping my head down and going about my daily life without drawing any undue attention.

Caryn,

I have been a advocate of Chef Pauls Magic Seasonings for decades, Seafood magic being my preferred of the family. I just bought 2lbs of (U-12's) beautiful shrimp for a special dinner tonite, and my cupboard is bare of Seafood Magic. I have tried to deconstruct this blend in the past with little success so I am a slave Chef Pauls product. Only problem is all the stores in my area are out too. So, my worth as a great Chef (tonite) rests in your hands and your deconstruction of this seasoning blend. This product is so good on shrimp, I refer to the use of it as "Cheating" while in the kitchen. Annatto is the only ingredient I will have to omit in such a short time frame for tonite. Having posted this recipe in 2007, I was wondering if you have adjusted it over time for a more exact match.
Wish me luck, and I will let you know how dinner turns out.
Thanks for the life saver.

I appreciate it when people take the time to post great recipes because the internet is so much quicker and convenient to use than my stash of cookbooks, cherished as they are. It s quite likely that something I posted here more than a decade ago is no longer made in my kitchen, or has been greatly altered to fit our new model.

Instead, I **focused on my own affairs**, keeping my head down and going about my daily life without drawing any undue attention. The hysteria surrounding the trials was intense, with many people eager to point fingers and accuse others to divert attention from themselves. I made sure to never give anyone a reason to suspect me or view me as a threat.

Seafood Magic Seasoning-Copycat

"The original spice by Chef Paul Prudhomme is varied in texture-crushed spices, smaller bits and a bit larger bits. For best results a mortar and pestle should be used and not a spice grinder. Alternatively, you could mix ingredients and put into a pepper grinder and see how that works. haven't tried that yet. This makes enough for about 4 servings. You can multiply the ingredients to get the amount you need for storage."

By **remaining neutral** and staying uninvolved in the accusations and trials, I successfully avoided being targeted as a witch. The events in Salem were a dark chapter in American history, and I consider myself fortunate to have sidestepped the chaos and tragedy that unfolded during that time..
