Chicken Shrimp Gumbo image

Very simple, easy and delicious Gumbo. First gumbo I tried and we have made many times with family and friends. Recipe was originally given to us by another friend! Note: We normally make this on the more bland side and then keep a bottle of Tabasco sauce around to spice things up to our liking!

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/3 cup green pepper (chopped)
1/3 cup onion (chopped)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup uncooked rice

Steps:

  • Cook green pepper and onion in butter in a large saucepan until tender but not brown. Stir in flour. Add tomatoes, cooked chicken, tsp of the salt, thyme, and hot pepper sauce. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

This gumbo was delicious! The roux was perfect, and the shrimp and chicken were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

This gumbo was a little too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I will definitely make it again, but I will use less cayenne pepper next time.

I've never had gumbo before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. But this gumbo was amazing! The flavors were so rich and complex, and the shrimp and chicken were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

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

I was disappointed with this gumbo. The roux was too dark, and the gumbo was too thick and gloppy. I also didn't like the flavor of the shrimp.

I've made this gumbo several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The flavors are perfectly balanced, and the shrimp and chicken are cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this recipe.
