My whole family liked it, but I think the spirit of gumbo calls for you to create your own version, so feel free to mess with my recipe at will! I couldn't tell you the first time I made this with my mom because I've had my hands in it since I could walk. In addition to shrimp and crab, this Seafood Gumbo is also flavored with the Holy Trinity- (onions, bell pepper, and celery), lots of garlic, a bottle of beer, thyme, bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce, and lots of Cajun seasoning. I have a legitimate complaint, do not have access to the Internet because I'm a senior and am having to ask my daughter to log a complaint because there is no venue for me to do so.

I should not be charged to give my opinion on the quality of the Campbell's Soup at Campbell's nor should I have had to waste my money on the bad-tasting soup. There are many recipes already available online for Crawfish Gumbo, so my goal was to write a definitive guide. I've made gumbo quite a few times in the past, so I have a few tips to share. If you have a shellfish allergy, you'll need to be extremely careful when dining out. You may want to avoid seafood restaurants entirely since people with severe shellfish allergies have had allergic reactions simply from breathing in particles of allergens from shellfish that is being steamed, fried, or boiled.
