You crushed it man. Love it. I usually like my seafood gumbo a touch thinner so i can add a frickload of file per bowl but thats a preference of mine. I also garnish with raw oyster and lump crab.

But your technique is on point sir

That looks perfect!!! Could I possibly press you for exact quantities of what you use? How much water for stock? How much weight for the meats? How much thyme and oregano etc?

I want to be able to make this this week!

That looks awesome. You have to be a miserable a-hole to downvote that there.

Very nicely done. I started building one couple days ago. Roux Thursday, stock yesterday. I’ll peel the shrimp today and put together tomorrow for Christmas Eve. Pacing myself.

Enjoy your great Christmas gumbo.

I prefer chicken and sausage, but holy hell, that is one beautiful gumbo. Your roux is so dark. I always get scared I will burn it. to you and I wish I could eat some!!!

That looks excellent! BOOKMARKED! Great job!

Does anyone know why after you have worked so hard to get a nice chocolatly roux that once you add the trinity it turns black! The first time this happened to me i thought i burned it. Everything came out great, but I was going

Nothing to worry about, baw. That’s just the sugars in the vegetables caramelizing. Maillard reaction. It’s exactly what you want to happen.
