I like to add crabmeat to this hearty soup as well. Serve over rice with crusty French bread. Garnish with fresh parsley.

This gumbo was a little bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices, such as cayenne pepper or paprika.

This gumbo was delicious, but it was a lot of work to make. The roux was especially time-consuming. I would recommend making this gumbo on a weekend or when you have plenty of time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this gumbo without the shrimp. It was still delicious! The okra and vegetables were cooked perfectly, and the roux gave the dish a rich, flavorful base.

This gumbo was a little too spicy for my taste, but otherwise it was delicious. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
