This spicy and flavorful gumbo is best served over rice. It's a nice change from gumbos cooked with a roux.

Good recipe. Allows for a lot of experimenting. I think next time I use it I'll not use fish but thats a personal preference. Rather soupy if you are looking for a thick gumbo. I thought it was quite good for a thick spicy soup. Read More

We have a load of striper that we caught on Lake Texoma and needed different recipes. This was yummy! I didn't have any shrimp but it turned out delightful! Thanks! We will make this again only with the shrimp! Read More

I live in Alaska so I substituted halibut for the catfish. My family LOVED it! Read More

Fabulous, if you don't overcook the shrimp. Add shrimp right at the end! First try, followed the recipe (although we use soup base instead of bouillon) and loved it! Second time, substituted chicken soup base for the beef, added shrimp right at the end, and after shrimp cooked a few minutes, added about a cup of half and half. INCREDIBLE! Served over white rice. A new favorite! Read More

this was ok i had to substitue tilapia for the catfish but the fish wasn't the problem...the soup itself was just lacking something..next time i'll try adding some shrimp bouillon along with the beef i think that should do the trick. still good recipe though. Read More

Wonderful gumbo! I just put everything in the pot and let it simmer for an hour and a half which really let the catfish absorb the spices and flavors. My family was wary about the catfish at first but loved this recipe! Read More
