This gumbo was way too spicy for me. I had to add a lot of milk to tone it down.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I omitted the shrimp from the recipe. The gumbo was still delicious! I would definitely make this again.

This gumbo was okay. The okra was a bit slimy and the flavor was bland. I wouldn't make this again.

This gumbo was a bit too thick for my taste. I would add more water or broth next time.
