I drink when I cook, so exact measurements are impossible to give.
When I get a minute later I’ll update to include some approximate measurements.

Exactly how I do mine with two exceptions. I normally peel the shrimp and put them on a cookie sheet and in the oven for 20-30 minutes to brown. I feel you get a richer stock that way. The second thing is I put some lump crab meat in, but I save the rest for each serving. Put the rice in the bowl, scoop or two of crab meat and pour the gumbo on top. The crab stays together better that way

Absolutely beautiful gumbo and roux. I do have to also mention what I really noticed is your knife skills with the veggie cuts.......those are
Knew right then your gumbo was going to be very good before scrolling down further.

I’m pretty happy with Mrs. Geauxldmember, but we’ll always have the gumbo, Paul.

That should do it. This might end up on my table in the next couple of weeks. I have made many many sausage/chicken gumbos but never seafood from scratch. It should be fun :)

You did a fine job sir

Do y'all devein your shrimp for gumbo? I always do if I'm making a shrimp/pasta dish with a light colored sauce, but I've never made a seafood gumbo and wondering if deveining, or not, will affect the flavor any.

Nope.

I never devein shrimp. I also put a small bag of the dried shrimp which really give it flavor. Just ease back on the salt.

Would the 2 people who gave him a down vote identify yourselves.
I put okra and tomatoes in my gumbo...but regardless...this Gumbo looks delicious.
