Thinking of making a gumbo this weekend. Any of y’all have some go to recipes? Definitely wanna go the seafood route.

It starts with a good roux.

AND hobestly for the most part all the seafood gumbos are all the same.. Unless they are made with love thats the difference!

I don't like maters in mine, and i hate when folks start sticken shicken in Seafood Gumbo. Oh and leaving sausage out (of seafood gumbo) won't hurt my feelings none either

WHO ARE YOU? SOMEONE HACK YOUR ACCOUNT? LOL

Damn right no yard bird in seafood gumbo.

Seafood gumbo should have lump crab meat, shrimp and oysters in it.

Maybe sausage

And like shaneomac said, the rest is pretty much the same but it's even better if you take the time to make your own seafood stock.

chicken is bird of the sea.............. and land............... i know i know......

Please don't put no Vienna sausage in it!!

I think I’m going to take free state hunters ggator gumbo and swap beef broth for seafood stock, swap gator meat for shrimp, crab, oyster, snapper weight equivalent, and omit tomatoes.

We know a food purist like yourself would never break food laws.... except for deep frying vienna's and making a corndog hotdog.

I love some gumbo but to be honest I struggle with making it. You want to know triggers me?? Stirring a a roux for an hour and a half then the stock and roux separate... it doesn't bring out the best in me.

Hour and a half?? DamSon

Yeah i ain't doing that. Don't be skurrrrred turn that fire up and give it hell 😄

I usually give it the 3 beer treatment .

Still won't catch me putting shicken in SEAFOOD Gumbo 😄

This.

Get the oil hot and shimmering before you add the flour and you can have a roux in less than 10 minutes.

You better be stirring like hell when the flour hits the oil!

That's how Paul Prudhomme taught it.

My Auntie Teets make a dark roux in 10 minute

Come yall, somebody post up a good recipe! I may cook one this weekend at camp...just need some direction.

You don't HAVE to put chicken in it But.....Chicken stock is a good start. Also, boil your shrimp heads/shells and make a stock. Use half shrimp and half chicken stock. I put onions, tomatoes,okra,garlic,bell pepper,celery in mine and simmer until veggies are tender. Season with black pepper,salt,gumbo filet, about 8 or 10 Bay Leaves,red pepper and any type of Cajun Seasoning you like. I also throw in a good dash of Spicy V8 juice. Add seafood the last 15 minutes prior to being done. Sometimes I'll broil fish and put in there. Oh, forgot worchestershire. Add seasoning to taste.....not a set amount....I NEVER measure anything when making it!!

Old bootlegger my daddy use to use was a cook offshore. I can remember as a kid eatin some of the best gumbo. My favorite ingredient I guess was the whole boiled eggs he put in it..
