Seafood Gumbo image

Gumbo is one dish that makes Louisiana cuisine so famous. We live across the state line in Texas and can't seem to get enough of this traditional gumbo recipe that features okra, shrimp, spicy seasonings and what is called the holy trinity-onions, green peppers and celery. This recipe calls for seafood, but you could also use chicken, duck or sausage. -Ruth Aubey, San Antonio, Texas

This gumbo is delicious and easy to make. I used chicken broth instead of seafood stock and it turned out great. I also added some chopped okra and it was a nice addition.
