Making Gumbo for the first time today although I’ve never tasted it. Any tips?

So here’s the finished product, I also made a mango and dragon fruit smoothie and some corn bread. He liked it said it was pretty good. Hopefully we can go to Louisiana so I can try the authentic version.

I’ll be sure to do that next time. Apart from the black rice and the prawns what else can I improve on?
Everyone is different ith their gumbo

Imo, just the shrimp. I can never understand why people make gumbo or any kind of stew with shellfish and don’t actually peel the shrimp. No matter what cultures food to me…

It just screams laziness but thats just a pet peeve of mines

The black rice threw me off.. but it’s an interesting twist.

Usually, the stew is poured on top of the rice but like i said, everyone is different.


Also, I’m more of a crawfish etoufee kinda guy than gumbo but for a dish you've never tried, it looks good.
