Okay....this is not your same old timey recipe, but it is good, plus it is quick and easy to make. Great for those weeknights when you want some good old comfort foods, but don't have the long cook time that is often involved in that type cooking.

This gumbo is the perfect comfort food. It's hearty and filling, and the flavors are amazing. I love serving it with a side of rice.

This gumbo is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

This gumbo is a great way to use up leftover seafood. I had some shrimp and crab that I needed to use up, and this recipe was the perfect way to do it.

I'm not a huge fan of gumbo, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The flavors were well-balanced and the seafood was cooked perfectly.

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

I was a bit disappointed with this gumbo. The roux was too dark and the seafood was overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This is the best gumbo I've ever had! The roux is perfect and the seafood is cooked just right. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this gumbo several times now, and it always turns out great. It's a bit time-consuming to make, but it's definitely worth the effort.

This gumbo is the real deal! The flavors are rich and complex, and the seafood is cooked to perfection. I especially love the addition of okra, which gives the gumbo a nice thick texture.
