This was my first recipe and it turned out wonderfully. My wife, who usually won't eat shrimp cooked in any recipe, ate it and enjoyed it. My teenage son wants me to cook it again tomorrow. It was a smash-hit. I will definitely cook it for my co-workers.

THIS IS THE BEST SITE I'VE FOUND!!!! BRAVO..SOMEONE HAS FINALLY PUT IT ALL TOGETHER. HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A GUMBO RECIPE (SHRIMP GUMBO)TO FEED A LARGE CROWD OF 200. FOUND THE CHICKEN RECIPE AND MADE THE CONVERSION BY TYPING IN "200" AND IT CAME RIGHT UP. NOW LOOKING FOR THE SHRIMP RECIPE. GOT ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS? DO YOU NORMALLY USE SAUSAGE IN THE SHRIMP GUMBO, OR IS THAT CUSTOMARILY ONLY USED IN THE CHICKEN RECIPE? PLEASE ADVISE.... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS WEBSITE. YOU ARE APPRECIATED!!!! MARY EDWARDS
