Crab and Shrimp Gumbo…..5/6/2024

Good afternoon Bruce I located the tutorial during my lunch break today……
YouTube.com- search Ralphthebaker / How to make seafood gumbo/ New Orleans Style
This is just a ten minute watch and he is very good about emphasizing the key points…..first watch will help you determine what you will need and what you may have to substitute for….watch again when ready to start and good luck….he puts some seasonings in his recipe but he doesn’t over power…..bay leaves are very important to the unique flavor as well as gumbo filet, which is ground up sassafras leaves…..let me know what you think…

Yes Bruce……you had to eat this entire bowl just to get tang…….I don’t like overpowering heat myself and in my opinion it just masks the best flavors……….

Okay, I'll be waiting to give it a try, but I can't make it hot. My lady doesn't like hot.

Thanks Bruce my mom is a fantastic scratch cook……but I followed a tutorial on line and it came out very good for me……the key with any of these Louisiana style dishes is a great rue and the correct seasonings and I don’t necessarily mean hot when I say seasonings, I mean flavor…….when I find it I will post the link…..thanks

Man does that look great. Do you think I could make it with fresh shrimp and canned crab meat? Can you send a recipe?

Thanks tracy......my mother is getting older so I try to keep her out of the kitchen the entire time we visit......but she always insists on making this great meal with fresh sliced French bread......and homemade pecan pies.... which is what I always requested on my birthday growing up........this dish has a bit of tang to it from cayene pepper, lump blue crab meat, gulf shrimp and served over white rice........it taste better each day as the seasonings sink in........
