A. mixed seafood gumbo

2020-08-12

This recipe was prepared with Zatarain's gumbo base (no rice) and with the rice cooked and served separately. The gumbo base makes it easier than the gumbo mix to match spiciness to your personal taste.

I added so many vegetables that I could just as well have made it from scratch. It makes it so much richer than just the packaged mix.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 3-4 servings:

1-2 lbs. seafood mix, remove fake crab OR
- 2 Dungeness crabs,
  1 lb. large tail-on shrimp,
  1 lb. crawfish tails, clams. mussels ....
1 cup long grain rice
gumbo mix:
- 1-2 cups onion & bell pepper mix, sliced

- 2 tbsp. flour / maizena
- 2 tbsp. oil / butter
