As a Texan it was a stretch for me to use a gumbo recipe from up north - lol - but this turned out pretty good. It was a little tomatoey at first but after adding a little more chicken broth, a couple tsp of Gumbo File and some fresh Gulf trout it was Awesome! I liked the recipe was straightforward and didn't have 40 ingredients. Very good.
We all loved it! Used spicy Clamato juice instead of V8. Also added diced Serrano and jalapeño peppers along with bell peppers. Used 1 cup of chicken broth from boiled chicken and added the rest water with chicken bouillon. Everything else normal! Great recipe!
Great recipe -- I crushed tomatoes instead of diced - and Swansons canned chicken - I literally had all the ingredients in the house! Made cornbread to serve with it! Yummy and easy!
I followed the recipe exactly but found the area where the sausage was cooked to be vague. I had Italian sausage in casings but wasn't sure if I was supposed to remove the casing because it described cooking until it was browned and crumbly. I instead cooked it in the casing from the beginning and then sliced it when cooled. I also used all the remnants from the sausage to cook the onion and green peppers. Worked out great.
Fantastic the the right amount of spice! I didn't have enough shrimp so I added pieces of scallops to make up the difference. Love it!!
It turned out delicious and was a big hit with the family. I didn't have spicy V8 so used Mr and Mrs T bloody Mary mix and added some horseradish sauce. I used red bell peppers bc I prefer them and mixed up some creole seasoning from chef John bc I didn't have any on hand. I will definitely be making this again!
This was really good. Making it for the second time right now. I added a little celery and zucchini. Used less creole seasoning because I wasn't sure if it would be too hot. Cooked some rice with garlic to go with it. My neighbor said I should cook it with okra so maybe next time I'll do that as gumbo is supposed to have okra in it?? I also added two ripe tomatoes cut into little pieces.
Great recipe...family loves it...we served it with white rices
This was just THE BEST! I had so many compliments on this dish. The only thing I did differently was adding a can of Rotel in place of the V8. I will make this many times!
If you like a tomato based gumbo this is for you. I substituted the v8 with more chicken broth. Still tomatoie. If that's a word lol. I seen the stars aka ratings and just went with the receipe.
