re: Paprika in C&S Gumbo?

I've never used paprika, smoked or otherwise. My sausage has plenty of smoke flavor even when I make Paul Prudhomme's fried chicken gumbo and more than plenty when I use smoked poultry.
I've never used these in my C&S gumbo and would not use them. I know some folks use bay, though. I have used a little thyme in seafood gumbo on occasion. I don't care for Italian herbs in gumbo.
I don't use creole seasoning. I use Nature's Seasoning if it needs more salt. That includes onion and garlic powders.
Gumbo does not need a bunch of different herbs and spices in my opinion. Most recipes are roux, trinity, garlic, the protein, sausage, salt and whatever pepper you prefer.
Is your roux dark enough? Do you use garlic?

Yes, I think the roux is dark enough and I use garlic.
So it sounds like you use a very minimal amount of seasonings....
I ended up with the thyme, basil, and bay leaves simply following what seemed like a good recipe.
But this post has me wondering if instead of missing something I am trying to do too much....

I've used a little thyme before but that was it. I dont use any herbs in my gumbo anymore. It doesn't need it.
