Seafood Gumbo image

Gumbo is one dish that makes Louisiana cuisine so famous. We live across the state line in Texas and can't seem to get enough of this traditional gumbo recipe that features okra, shrimp, spicy seasonings and what is called the holy trinity-onions, green peppers and celery. This recipe calls for seafood, but you could also use chicken, duck or sausage. -Ruth Aubey, San Antonio, Texas

I'm not a fan of okra, so I omitted it from this gumbo. It was still very good, but I would have preferred it with okra.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I omitted the shrimp and crab from this gumbo. It was still very good, but I would have preferred it with seafood.

This gumbo is very time- consuming to make. I would recommend starting it early if you're short on time.

This gumbo is a great way to use up leftover seafood. I used shrimp, crab, and crawfish, and the gumbo turned out great.

This gumbo is delicious, but it's a bit too spicy for me. I would recommend using less CreoleKostenseasoning next time.

I'm not a big fan of gumbo, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so flavorful and satisfying. I love the way the okra thickens the soup and the shrimp and sausage add the perfect amount of spice.

This gumbo is the best I've ever eaten! The flavors are so rich and complex, and the shrimp and sausage are cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
