This recipe calls for shrimp, but can you use squirrel, rabbit, ham, chicken, or other game for this traditional Louisiana stew. It is delicious over rice, full of okra, peppers, tomatoes, onions, and celery.

Okra, shrimp, and a variety of sauteed vegetables are used to create a thick stew, even without the dark roux found in traditional gumbo recipes.

Thick, rich, and tasty - this gumbo is made with cooked ham and black-eyed peas. It's a perfect dish for New Year's Day, but hearty and delicious any time of the year.

'With sausage, chicken and shrimp plus rice, a medley of vegetables and the 'heat' of cayenne, this warming soup is one my husband and I enjoy for dinner many Sunday evenings,' relates Debbie Burchette of Summitville, Indiana. 'It's wonderful with crusty bread.'

Spicy okra gumbo like grandma's made with bacon and chicken. Lots of okra and fresh cayenne peppers make this dish special.

This is a recipe for a classic, dark brown, shrimp gumbo in true Louisiana Cajun country fashion. Serve over rice. Browning the chicken pieces in the oil used for the roux adds flavor to the dish. I use the cooked chicken for chicken salad. File is added off the heat to thicken the gumbo. If added while the gumbo is still cooking, it may become stringy and unpleasant. File is ground sassafras leaves. It is available in many supermarkets.
