Directions
Chicken, Shrimp, and Sausage Gumbo, This recipe was a culmination of several recipes that I ran across through the years It is time consuming but it is worth it Note: The roux is probably the most important part of making a gumbo, take your time and you will be rewarded (To quote Alton Brown) The darker the color, the richer it will be I like mine very dark , How many cups or quarts does this recipe make? I’m trying to calculate how many batches would be needed to make 20 quarts of gumbo for a church group Thanks , How can i print this? Or at least y add it to my home screen please?
