Notes
- erve gumbo over rice or by itself. Enjoy!
- Don’t let the roux or veggies burn. Stirring frequently helps to keep everything moving around to prevent burning.
- Spiciness. Adjust to your taste by changing the amount of cayenne pepper. There may also be some spice in the cajun seasoning and smoked paprika but don’t pack as much of a punch as the cayenne.
- Serve hot. Gumbo definitely is a dish served piping hot. As it sits and cools down it will thicken up more. You want it to be slightly thick but not overly thick like gravy.
- You can serve gumbo over rice or by itself. Enjoy!
