re: Anybody here ever eat or cook a boiled egg gumbo?

never in gumbo, but in shrimp stew, hell yes. basically make a thick shrimp gumbo, add boiled eggs and some diced potato. boom goes the dynamite.

I think I am going to make a dried shrimp, boiled egg, and okra gumbo tommorow. Hopefully I can find some decent ones here either at an Asian or Latin market. The only ones I have come across in Ga have been large with heads on not the little tiny ones you see in the gas stations in Louisiana.

From what I remember (from 30+ years ago), it was a thick, very dark roux. She'd put sliced onions and the sliced boiled eggs in it.

We'd eat it over rice.

Don't remember anything but onions and egg in it. Would imagine seasoned with just salt and black pepper.

She wasn't a very "exotic" cook. Just the basics.

It was tremendous.

It was pretty common in Vermilion parish.

My uncle and grandparents also made a occasional all-egg gumbo/stew for lint. It was not very common.

Not in gumbo but we do put boiled eggs in our red gravy.
