Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo

Don't get much better than this

Nothing beats a great cup or bowl of Gumbo. You get the best of everything in one bowl.

This recipe is adapted from Paul Prudohmme's recipe. If you don't want the crab and oysters, feel free to omit them, but add in 1 chicken breast or 2 chicken thighs, finely diced instead to give the soup some body. You may be tempted to use butter for the roux, but don't. It will burn and turn bitter. This recipe is easiest if you have two large pots, but if you don't, you can transfer the roux to a bowl, and use 1 pot.

When I travel to New Orleans I always look forward to eating Gumbo. Chicken and Andouille sausage is a classic Cajun meal but some people prefer shrimp or seafood gumbo. A nice hardy meal.

When you want Gumbo, but do not have time to make a roux!

Got some leftover chicken and some Conecuh sausage, with nasty weather outside? Perfect time to cook up a big pot’o gumbo. Don’t forget the cornbread! #february 2026

every one loves my gumbo!!!

When my students found out I was headed back to Mardi Gras again in 2017 - they wanted to make an authentic New Orleans dish. They only problem was, they only had a little over an hour to create their NOLA dish. With that, they took a totally acceptable, delicious short cut! A long story short - SUCCESS! No rue needed. Go ahead. Tell me you'd kick that out of your bed. 😊

Soooo good! Takes some time to make but well worth the wait! :hungry

I'll admit it. I'm one of those crazy assed Armageddon preppers you hear about on cable channels. With that, I'm obviously all about the tasty, seriously easy and super sustainable dried foods and goods.Anyway, on Fridays here in the O'Brien Shire - I let my culinary students literally run amok in my Armageddon pantries, freezers and crispers and let them decide what they want to make. This was one of the most delicious recipes they created with a dried mixture. And, it's 20 minutes fast!Excellent work again kiddos! I took your entire vat camping and it was gone in minutes!

Easy, tasty, fast meal...Takes less than 35 minutes.

Made this on new year 2023. Best gumbo I've ever made! Enjoy

Perfect gumbo, not too spicy but very flavorful!!!

This would be good with okra or rice. My family liked this very well with no okra or rice.

Needed a gumbo recipe for my husband. I found this one at http://southernfood.about.com/od/crockpotsoup/r/bl00109c.htm

Lovely low calorie quick meal

We also added about a half pound of some shrimp but up to you.

I love gumbo and this one sure doesnt dissapoint. It has just the right level of consistant heat and is full of flavor. I used orange and red bell peppers, they're sweet and have a lot of flavor to them.

A mixture of recipes I researched. My first time and it turned out great!

C'est bon!

Gumbo the way I like it😋

"Cajun" style – Gumbo, uses no tomatoes. However all gumbos starts with the basic “holy trinity” (onions, peppers, & celery), a good stock, and various meat, fowl, and shellfish. The key is to make a roux and add okra or filé powder as a thickening agent. Adjust the ingredients and seasonings to your liking and “Laissez les bon temps rouler” [Let the good times roll!]

Warm rich slightly sweet flavor. Adapted from Good Housekeeping's book of Menus, Recipes and Household Discoveries-1922

Fall is near and now is when I start to crave warm comfort food! Gumbo does not need to be hard in fact it is quite easy. crack open some wine, relax, and enjoy this hearty meal!

My mother makes this from scratch. Sense I am not as good as my mother I used the gumbo mix to give me a boost. I'm from Louisiana, and if you know anything about Louisiana then you know what gumbo is.. I love this.. I eat it all year round but it normally for really cold days.

This is great for freezing. Just make a pot of rice and your gumbo thaws out perfectly and probably tastes better. :positive
