SAVANNAH GUMBO
This is a Paula Deen recipe and one of the best recipes I've ever tried. I would suggest making it the day before and giving it a day in the fridge to meld the flavors more. I also throw in some shrimp during the last five minutes of cooking.

[email protected]I found this gumbo to be a bit bland. It needed more salt and pepper, and maybe a little more cayenne pepper.

[email protected]This gumbo was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.
