This is the ONLY recipe I use for gumbo. I have made it 5 times so far and each time I have perfected the rue - which to me is the hardest part. I have also added 1/4 cup of clam juice and it took it up a notch. Also I use Argentinian shrimp which observe the flavors better then the shelled shrimp.
brendarivera1Ok made for first time tonight. Seems really good. Yes the File amounts would be handy. This is new to me. I found some stuff on the web but ha e no idea if I used too much or not. I used four tablespoons with water and mixed in with water. Strange stuff.
richardjohnson7Amazing! I added a cup and a half of white rice.
tomsartoriThis is fabulous. It will be my go to recipe for gumbo forever. I added a shredded roasted chicken in it as well. Very time consuming but well worth it.
