My husband makes the best gumbo. This is the recipe he uses. Originated from Southern Living but he has changed it up a bit over the years. Makes a lot and freezes well.

This gumbo is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it's still really good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

I love how this gumbo is packed with flavor. The shrimp, crab, and sausage all come together perfectly.

This gumbo is a great way to use up leftover seafood. I always have a few shrimp or crab legs in the freezer, and this is the perfect recipe to use them up.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my gumbo didn't turn out as thick as I would have liked. I think I'll add a little more roux next time.

This gumbo is a bit spicy for my taste, but it's still really good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
