Up around Loris/Tabor they like some heat to the peppers tooRight.. Coastal Carolina's cuisine is lighter than NOLA.Thats not even in Louisiana.Charleston and the sea islands.. Their cuisine is lighter than in New Orleans.I find that light roux's dont have the flavor of dark roux.New Orleans has wonderful food but I prefer gumbos and creoles and etoufee that is lighter like in the Lowcountry without the dark roux.I'm a low country boil kind of guy myself....
I want that deep smokey flavor in my gumbo as well as my etouffee...like they use in the lowcountry. We're talking bayou country on the coast...which of course is the low country.
Shrimp and Grits are popular all along the Gulf coast.In Charleston Shrimp and Grits, She Crab Soup and Catfish Stew are very popular.Love some File!!!I like Okra too but you can use Filé powder, also called gumbo filé..I think its ground up sasafrassI feel inspired, looks like a great recipe. I might add okra though. I love the stuff and the best Gumbo I had in Alexandria was a seafood gumbo and I'm pretty sure the okra was heavy in there.
If you dont add okra ya pretty much have to add File to thicken things up.
LOL...Funny you should mention Frog Cookware.Gotsta have a good iron dutch oven or yuza pissin up a rope. I had one of those ceramic lined France types.Great of tomaterz were in the picture It vanished years ago. I have a 1940 something ol Griswold #10 I've had for nearly 50 years. That boy in the vid has it right.
Cool!!
He left out the Pope on the Holy Trinity!!!....Garlic!Cool!!
I've seen this guy!
Nice recipe but I follow the no sausage in seafood gumbo rule.
Good soundtrack in this vid also.
I didn't see him add much pepper either. The best Gumbo I had was pretty spicy. I'd say bridging those aspects would make something perfect.He left out the Pope on the Holy Trinity!!!....Garlic!Cool!!

Agree on the sausage, and I would add scallops.Nice recipe but I follow the no sausage in seafood gumbo rule.
And I always buy extra shrimp with the head on so I can make my seafood stock with it.
Of course the best thing about Gumbo...it dont matter what you throw in it as long as it taste good at the end.
Talk about irony. I just made seafood gumbo for dinnerFor those of you who love Seafood Gumbo
In the Wife and I's decades search of the ultimate Gumbo heat was never the problem it's always been the dark smokey roux. This is after hitting up many Cajuns and even a Cajun Grandma of my Wifes coworker.I didn't see him add much pepper either. The best Gumbo I had was pretty spicy.

We've done scallops before but you have to put em in at the last minute or they disintegrate like crab meat does.Agree on the sausage, and I would add scallops.Nice recipe but I follow the no sausage in seafood gumbo rule.

I'm wondering what Conch Meat would do.
Oh...I bet conch would be bad ass if you put it in at the right time!!Agree on the sausage, and I would add scallops.Nice recipe but I follow the no sausage in seafood gumbo rule.

To me my favorite way to eat conch is to pull it outta the shell,rub it with salt to get the slime off and rinse with fresh water.Agree on the sausage, and I would add scallops.Nice recipe but I follow the no sausage in seafood gumbo rule.

Aaaaand?Talk about irony. I just made seafood gumbo for dinnerFor those of you who love Seafood Gumbo
So how long did it take you to make seafood gumbo?Talk about irony. I just made seafood gumbo for dinnerFor those of you who love Seafood Gumbo
Cooking always benefits from further conversation.I sure am a mean mother fucker...
That said you have to have okra in gumbo, some jalapenos, or tabasco sauce plus a lot of garlic.
It's worth further discussion and experiment.
