Seafood Gumbo
Gumbo is one dish that makes Louisiana cuisine so famous. We live across the state line in Texas and can’t seem to get enough of this traditional gumbo recipe that features okra, shrimp, spicy seasonings and what is called the holy trinity—onions, green peppers and celery. This recipe calls for seafood, but you could also use chicken, duck or sausage. —Ruth Aubey, San Antonio, Texas

Thank you! Your recipe was delicious.
I made this with lobster meat, shrimp and blue crabs. It was a BIG HIT!
My first time making gumbo from scratch. Add crawfish shrimp and sausage. Yummy
This was my first time making gumbo. I love to cook & consider myself to be a foodie with a very diverse palette. That being said, this gumbo is EVERYTHING! I added sausage, blue gumbo crabs, & tilapia. Everything else is the same. I also am eating it with a flaky honey butter biscuit. Hands down THEE best gumbo I've ever had. Thanks so much for sharing!!
I added chicken drumettes, sausage and shrimp. We had it over rice. Very good and easy to make.
The Cajun flavors come together nicely here and the taste is great!!
very good recipe; I added rice to the gumbo after was done at the same time that I added the shrimp. This thicken it somewhat . I also cut down on the salt. I also added Andouille sausage to give it more of a cajun style taste.
Easy to follow. Family loved it over rice.
This is a huge recipe. Can it be frozen? I'd hate to think my husband and I would be eating this for at least a week. Not a good idea. Help.
Since I have never made gumbo before, this was a good, non-intimidating recipe to start with.
