Instructions
Roll up a kitchen towel and wrap it around the base of a medium-size bowl to keep it stable.

Continue whisking while gradually pouring in the remaining vegetable oil in a thin, thread-like stream. The mixture will slowly turn an opaque golden yellow. As you add more oil, the dressing will become thicker and creamy and take on a paler yellow color.
Whisk in the olive oil, also in a thin stream.
Whisk in the Old Bay seasoning. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the aioli until you’re ready to use it, up to 4 days.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling
Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling are great choices for Shellfish. Buttery chardonnay is great for scallops, shrimp, crab, and lobster, while muscadet is a classic pick for mussels, oysters, and clams. If you've got some spice in your shellfish, a semi-dry riesling can balance out the heat. The Frank Family Vineyards Lewis Vineyard Reserve Chardonnay with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 62 dollars per bottle.
