Easy Seafood Gumbo Recipe
A proper gumbo is the kind of one-pot meal that fills the whole kitchen with something rich, complex, and deeply Southern — bold Cajun tomatoes, sweet shrimp, tender crabmeat, and sliced okra simmered together into a thick, savory stew ladled over rice. This easy version captures everything great about classic gumbo without the hours of standing over a roux.
Ingredients
1 pkg Pioneer® Brown Gravy Mix
2 1/2 cup Water
2 cans (14.5oz) Cajun-style stewed tomatoes
2 cup okra, sliced (fresh or frozen)
1 dash hot pepper sauce (to taste)
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 pkg medium shrimp, frozen, peeled and deveined
1/2 pkg imitation crabmeat, cut in 1/2-inch pieces
2 cup white rice, cooked
This Easy Seafood Gumbo uses Pioneer Brown Gravy Mix to build the rich, savory base that gives this Cajun-inspired stew its depth of flavor and the thick, satisfying consistency of a long-simmered gumbo.
Instructions
