Seafood Gumbo...

[indaswamp]

One of the guys @ the firehouse was given a bunch of seafood...

4lbs. 16~21 count shrimp
2lbs. lump crab meat
1.5lbs. crab claws
2lbs. oysters
2 lbs. frog legs

I donated 2# smoke sausage and 1# andouille for the gumbo.

Perks of the south... perfect night for it...29* here....

I think I see some File sprinkled in there. Nice. Best thing about gumbo is, well, its gumbo. No, its cool to try others recipe as no 2 gumbos are alike. Good stuff.

Edit to add: It's 54 * here in S Texas!!

As long as you don't take advantage of people, they are very friendly here. From what I'm told the seafood was a little Lagniappe from a barter trade of some kind. And yes, frog legs are awesome in seafood gumbo. I like to leave the meat on the bone and separate the legs at the knee. Just gotta be sure you don't over cook the seafood.
