Shrimp And Crab Gumbo Recipe

This flavorful gumbo is packed with a variety of shellfish, including oysters, shrimp, and crab. It's thick and filling thanks to the generous amounts of veggies like beloved okra, which adds texture and an earthy flavor. Our version is seafood only but you can adjust the meats to your liking, maybe all shrimp when these crustaceous are in season, or just crab meat or mussels with the addition of sausage. Gumbo is a traditional louisiana dish in which spanish, french, african, german and indigenous traditions come to life. Each of these cultures brought a similar dish to the area and gumbo is a combination of all of them, if not a by-product of the interchange that happened between locals and immigrants. Don't miss out on the chance to try a spoonful of delicious history with a bowl of this satisfying seafood stew, irresistible with a side of white rice.
