Louisiana Shrimp and Eggs Gumbo

Submitted by: lise
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.

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.

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.

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.

Dis iz a terrific gumbo recipe, if'n you close your eyes, you'll swear Mama is makin'it fer ya. Feel free to substitute crawdads fer de shrimp. File is optional and is always added off of the heat. Add rice to the center of a large soup bowl, add gumbo. Deeelicious!!!

This spicy and flavorful gumbo is best served over rice. It's a nice change from gumbos cooked with a roux.
