re: How to tweak to a seafood gumbo?

quote:
8 or so gumbo crabs plus plenty other loose crab claws. Throw em in early.
1 lb crab claw meat thrown in early.
1 pint oysters throw in early.
Damn, not used to throwing in seafood this early into a dish.
quote:
Let all that cook together for a few hours.
What sort of temps we talking? Seems like a super long time to cook seafood.
quote:
After that add 12 lbs shrimp and quart of oysters. Cook gently for 20-30 minutes. All of this will thin your gumbo significantly.
So if I want it to remain fairly thick I should add less shrimp? I’m gonna pass on adding oysters, that just doesn’t seem like the texture I’m going for.
Appreciate the help!

1. I hear ya but I think that’s the only way to get a real deep seafood flavor in the juice. I consider the early addition seafood as sacrificed for the sake of juice flavor. You could probably just add a few crabs early and only cook the others briefly if you want.
2. Almost boiling. It can boil a little just don’t let it roll.
3. I don’t like the oysters either. But they do add flavor. Don’t skip the small early addition. Tons of flavor and you won’t be able to find them in the pot.
4. You can skimp on the shrimp quantity compared to what’s I said. What I said is overkill. Some folks add cream of shrimp also which will thicken it obviously. Don’t see a problem with that.
