This gumbo was just okay. The broth was a bit bland and the shrimp and crab were overcooked. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This gumbo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The shrimp and crab were cooked well and the broth was flavorful. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.
