    ** You can use commercial creole seasoning such as Zatarain's if you don't want to make your own. Here is the recipe to make your own : https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/other-main-course/sallyes-homemade-creole-seasoning.html?r=2 For spicier gumbo, use 3 tablespoons creole seasoning or add 1 dash tabasco sauce You may also add 1/2 lb smoked sausage to mixture for extra flavor

    NOTE: IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO SHELLFISH, AS MANY OF US ARE JUST SUBSTITUTE CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE FOR THE SHRIMP & CRAB. FROZEN OKRA IS ACCEPTABLE IF FRESH IS NOT AVALABLE. THAW IN COLANDER SO THAT LIQUID DRAINS OFF OF IT BEFORE YOU START COOKING IT.
