This gumbo was a little too thick for my taste, but I still liked it. I would recommend adding more liquid to thin it out a bit.

I found this gumbo to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices and herbs to give it more flavor.

This gumbo is a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend reducing the amount of cayenne pepper if you're not a fan of spicy food.

This gumbo was a hit at my dinner party! The flavors were bold and complex, and the shrimp, okra, and tomatoes were cooked to perfection. I especially loved the addition of the andouille sausage, which gave the dish a nice smoky flavor.
