This gumbo was a bit too thick for my taste, but the flavor was good. I'll try adding more broth next time.

The gumbo was good, but not great. I think it needed more seasoning. I'll try adding more cayenne pepper and paprika next time.

This gumbo was a disappointment. The shrimp were overcooked and the broth was bland. I won't be making this recipe again.

The gumbo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was still good. I'll try making it again with less cayenne pepper next time.
