Shrimp will get lost in all of the fowl and sausage described, save it for another venture.

what fat are you using for the roux?

I recommend omitting the shrimp. As said above, they will get lost in the other flavors of roux, 7 lbs of poultry and 2.5 lbs of shrimp. It will be a waste of good shrimp and if you have leftovers, they will be overcooked. Make shrimp remoulade or cocktail with them.

Use em if you want to. They're your shrimp. I would.

Yeah the shrimp are something I recently started adding to my gumbo recipe. I really think they give it alot of flavor, but dont overwhelm the gumbo with a "seafood" flavor.
Came out great. Good thing the gumbo was good, cause the game wasnt.

Paul P has a recipe with shrimp and sausage, I believe, in his Louisiana Kitchen. I usually put oysters in a seperate container of my chicken and sausage (or duck) gumbo. I think shrimp, cooked properly, can only enhance a gumbo.
As far as I 'm concerned,the only "must haves" for gumbo are homemade roux and okra, the rest is optional...
