A few days ago I was at my friends house for a Birthday celebration and this is one of the dishes Chris prepared for the crowd. It was a huge hit! Oh my gosh, it was soooo delish! Everyone had seconds, and some of the guys had third helpings. I have to make it, but none of the stores near me had the Gumbo Mix, so it was off to Amazon.
For a crowd use 2 boxes and double the recipe below.
1 Box of Zatarain's Gumbo mix ( not the base, but the mix)
1/2 red bell pepper, very finely chopped
1/2 large onion, very finely chopped
1 lb of large steamed, cleaned, peeled and cut in half shrimp
1 8 oz container of crab meat ( Chris picks her own crabs for this)
If you dont want to use crab meat you can use smoked sausage.💖 We actually like is better this way.
Prepare the mix according to the box directions. To it add the raw chopped peppers and onions, allow to simmer, then add the shrimp, and add the crab meat. Allow simmer for a few minutes.
Chris said that this freezes well.
