This is a Paula Deen recipe and one of the best recipes I've ever tried. I would suggest making it the day before and giving it a day in the fridge to meld the flavors more. I also throw in some shrimp during the last five minutes of cooking.

This gumbo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

This gumbo was easy to make and turned out delicious! I used chicken sausage instead of pork and it was still very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I was really looking forward to trying this recipe, but I was disappointed. The gumbo was bland and the shrimp were overcooked. I won't be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the gumbo turned out great! It was a little spicy for my taste, but I added a bit of sour cream to cool it down. Will definitely make this again.
