Spicy Seafood Gumbo image

My husband makes the best gumbo. This is the recipe he uses. Originated from Southern Living but he has changed it up a bit over the years. Makes a lot and freezes well.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it turned out much better.

This gumbo was a little too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I've made this gumbo twice now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The shrimp, crab, and sausage are all cooked to perfection and the broth is rich and flavorful.
