This is a great gumbo,but instead of serving over rice, I add one bottle of Heinz shrimp sause,3 extra cups water and one cup pearled barley. The barley thickens on it's own and gives good fiber I rate this a five star 5 stars

5 Stars with alterations, I followed the suggestions of other reviews: reduced water by half but 3 cups water and 3 cups vegetable broth, seasoned shrimp with old bay, but used only 1 pound and 8 ounces of lump crab meat, used only 1 pound okra, and seasoned stew with Zatarin's creole seasoning and old bay, also a bay leaf. It was very tasty!

This is a bad recipe. I followed this recipe and spent over 2 hours to make a watered down, bland dish that barely even looks like gumbo. I even added smoked sausage to the recipe and it was still bland. Not good at all.

Very good recipe! I cut the water in half like many others suggested and added Old Bay cuz hubby loves it. He certainly approved of this recipe...even my okra hating 9 year old ate 3 helpings! Thanks for the recipe!

This was great. I personally am not an okra fan, but my husband is and was begging for some gumbo. I decided to make this recipe and was pleasantly surprised. I followed the recipe, except I used zucchini instead of celery, since it was all I had. I also used about 3 cups of water and 3 cups of chicken broth (6 cups total, not 12!) I served with a little brown rice and butter biscuits! A+ !!
