This SEAFOOD GUMBO is addictive, I could eat it everyday, it is delicious. I prepare it a few times a year, especially if we’re having friends over or celebrating during the holidays…every time I make it I get tons of compliments and I always end up giving out the recipe. I love the combination of shrimp, crab legs and sausage, but I have added oysters, lump crab and fish too and it’s all good. My homemade seasoning is the best I’ve ever tasted, and it is by far better than any store bought seasoning. It all starts with a good roux, shrimp and vegetable stock and the seasoning, and after that it’ll be smooth sailing. It goes so well with white rice, and I know once you try it you will love it. ❤️
