seafood gumbo recipe
 

Does anyone have a good recipe for a seafood gumbo? I have some shrimp and crab that i want to make a seafood gumbo. I have made a lot of chicken and sausage gumbo but never a seafood gumbo.

Sautee' onions, celery, garlic and jalapeno's
Boil chicken, shrimp---not sausage
Pick chicken
Chop up sausage, chicken, shrimp, etc....
Make roux by "browning flour"..... add flour to a pot, turn fire on medium-high and add oil til its brown..
After you make your roux....add water and add chicken, sausage, shrimp, crab ets along with onions,celery, garlic and jalapeno's etc.....
Add enough water to cover the goodies (being your hard ingredients)
I Also add 2-12oz cans of dark beer to mine.... makes it have that ZIP
Let cook for 4-5 hours...
Put in a bowl, serve over rice and make you some home made tater salad and plop a huge spoon of dat on the side !!!!!

I'm crossing the border to your place!

Ok, you convinced me,, it's gumbo for supper tonight... where can you find some crabs..I had my husband look and look but we can not find any at this time...He may have to settle for Squirrel gumbo instead

Dont forget to boil ya shrimp peelings in a big pot and make ya stock to use instead of water..
