I always wondered how to make Gumbo. So, I decided to look it up. After browsing through various recipes, I settled on one that seemed perfect for me. Sure, every nook and cranny in Louisiana has its own take, but this version with smoked Portuguese sausage, organic chicken, and Old Bay shrimp was absolutely delicious!
