GUMBO FILE AUX CHEVETTES (SHRIMP GUMBO )
GUMBO IS MEANT TO BE END OF WEEK OR ANYTIME BUT USES ALL THE LEFTOVERS. AT LEAST AT MY HOUSE IT WAS. SO SOMETIMES YOU WILL HAVE PORK CHOPS, FISH, SAUSAGE, SHRIMP, CHICKEN, CRAB MEAT AND THROWN IN THE POT. NOTHING IS OFF LIMITS IN THE GUMBO POT. SO JUST MAKE IT YOURS. MY GRANDMOTHER WOULD MAKE A BATCH OF CORNBREAD...
