I have been making gumbo since my early 20's and I have never measured any of the ingredients. I always just cook by sight but I did try to measure them for this posting. I like my gumbo slightly spicy so you may want to use less cajun spices and eliminate the pepper sauce.

This gumbo was way too salty for my taste. I had to add a lot of water to dilute it.

This gumbo is a great way to use up leftover chicken, shrimp, and sausage. It's also a very affordable meal to make.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my gumbo turned out bland and watery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This gumbo was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This gumbo was a huge disappointment. The shrimp was overcooked and the sausage was bland. I won't be making this recipe again.

The gumbo was delicious, but it was a little too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less cayenne pepper.

This gumbo was easy to make and turned out great! I used chicken andouille sausage, and it gave the gumbo a nice spicy kick.

This gumbo was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and complex, and the shrimp, chicken, and sausage were all cooked perfectly. I especially loved the addition of okra, which gave the gumbo a nice slimy texture.
