  • Notes:

    For seafood gumbo: prepare as above, except substitute 12 oz. frozen shelled shrimp and 6 oz. fresh or frozen crabmeat for the chicken. Thaw shrimp and crab, if frozen. Cut up crab. Cook roux 'til LIGHT reddish-brown. Add shrimp and crab during last 5 minutes of cooking. Substitute one teaspoon Cajun, blackening, or Essence seasoning for black, red pepper & garlic, if desired. Much more flavor & kick.
