Any tips? I want to make a chicken(chicken thighs) and shrimp gumbo.
By successful I mean multiple people ate it, not just you

Who here has actually made a successful gumbo before?
- Thread starter BrothaZay
- Start date
How long should each meat cook in the gumbo?

I have no idea about the chicken but shrimp cook fast...like 5 minutes fast. Your main concern should be the roux not the meat

if he can't make a proper roux stay outta the kitchen
I watched video of someone cooking the shrimp for an hour. The chicken for 2 hours. And his shyt was legit
Hes doing it wrong then because shrimp is always added in the last 5-10 minutes....once they pink, cooking is over...

Flip the box over and handle business, play some New Orleans music in your kitchen, make the Gumbo comes alive....
I use this........ Following the directions.....no Shrimp for me..... Chicken and Sausage....
Cook on low for 2 hrs after all meat have been added.....
Before i even add any thing, i get a ham hock a stock pot 2 - 3 cups let that bad boy boil for about 1hr or so......
Last u will need some Gumbo File, add that the last 15-20 minutes after the Gumbo is completely done.......
and stir that pot for about 10 minutes so it mix good.....

This is one of those things Ive always wanted to make but it seems so daunting... there's a million ingredients and most recipes I see aren't authentic. 
1 hour for shrimp?
You might as well chew on some rubber bands
But foreal tho, never add seafood till the END. Cut it off, then add and stir till it starts getting pink(or red shells for crabs), then let it sit and get that flavor in there, stir occasionally while it’s still cooling down.

I played myself and tried to make gumbo. Ended up with a pot of goop
