We really liked this! I followed the recipe very closely. My only deviation was to cut the hot pepper sauce to 1/4 teaspoon and this was enough heat for us. Though the roux took a few minutes more than the recommended time to develop its color it provided richness and complexity that was very satisfying. Read More

The roux was flavorless. I kept adding more Cajun spice. But it never really flavored it very well. I tasted the seasoning and it tasted like it was right but I don't think I will make this recipe again. Read More

Delicious! Omitted okra. Cooked the roux for 30 minutes for a rich broth. Hot sauce on table for individual use but not in cooking. Husband is Cajun and he loved it. Will certainly make again. Read More

It was very easy to make. Well written instructions. I omitted the red pepper only because I didn't have one and added a can of tomato okra and corn (drained). It all worked out nicely. Read More

Great gumbo. Easy to make and tasted great. You can adjust the amount of spice with less Cajun sea song and hot sauce. I used what was recommended and it had a good amount of kick. But I like spicy. I didn t substitute or leave out any of the ingredients and pretty much followed the recipe to a T. Read More

GREAT gumbo! this one will be added to the regular staples menu for sure. some fairly insignificant mods that just felt right: -used EV olive oil/quinoa flour for rue. -doubled the garlic (can never have too much garlic!) -used nitrate free spicy beef andouille sausage & sauteed for a few minutes ahead of time in evoo/garlic on med-high heat to get a good sear (b/c i prefer anything in the hot dog family burned at least a little). -used a little more broth than called for for added soupage -added a couple diced jalapeños. -used chili garlic cholula for the pepper sauce -seasoned up the cooked rice with s/p cholula splash of worcestershire just before serving Read More

First time I've ever made a roux or gumbo and it turned out amazing! Will definitely make this again and again, especially when shrimp is in season! Pairs up well with corn muffins. Read More
