Wow! That was good. Only change I would make is that I chose a cajun saugage that was a bit oily. Next time I would choose maybe a spicy turkey saugage. I am with one of the previous posts about kicking it up a notch with some hot sause - Bam! What a great recipe. Thank you.

    I am going to say that considering how much this made (LOTS) and how little was left (practically nothing), it was a hit! Man, stirring the roux . . . my arm still hurts! Great recipe, even DD liked it, and I liked that I could have a shrimp dish and she could eat the same dish without complaining. It just took judicious ladling to avoid shrimp.

    Delicious! The best gumbo we've had in a long time and the directions were excellent and simple to follow! Thanks Rita for posting this recipe. We will definitely be making this again.

    This recipe is tops in my book. I did make a few changes. I browned the chicken and sausage in the oil and made the roux from the drippings. I added 1 1/2 teaspoon of file gumbo seasoning. I also cheated and used a pakage of frozen gumbo vegetables which made it really fast and easy. The flavor was perfect and I plan to use this one over and over. Thanks for sharing Rita!!!
