Notes:
Comments, with which I agree, added on original Facebook posting: I used butter instead of oil for the roux, added celery, 1t creole seasoning and 2C chicken broth. (The lack of those things just seemed beyond wrong to me) I'm using fresh shrimp because I'm just too close to the Gulf for frozen. And I browned the sausage in a cast iron skillet then cooked the veggies in the drippings before adding them. Yum and really easy!! You could add crab with the shrimp. Or also try adding other seafood: Having grown up on the MS Gulf Coast with fresh seafood readily available, I could not serve gumbo without adding more seafood, especially crab!
