ham and shrimp gumbo | Sabrina's Organizing

Gumbo is "Gumbo is a stew that originated in southern Louisiana during the 18th century. It consists primarily of a strongly-flavored stock, meat or shellfish, a thickener, and the Cajun holy trinity of vegetables, namely celery, bell peppers, and onions." It's a great dish on those cold winter nights.

This ham and shrimp gumbo recipe is one of our favorites for cold winter dinners. It is filling and yummy and we can eat leftovers the next day! YAY! Follow along and see how we made this dish!

½ lb of shrimp Medium, 41-50
⅓ cup vegetable oil
⅓ cup flour
One large onion - finely chopped
Two celery stalks - finely chopped

    Cajun and creole food is definitely what I miss most about living down South. There is nowhere to find such delights in Idaho, so I branched out in my cooking skills and have made shrimp and grits, etoufee, as well as gumbo. The gumbo I make is chicken and andouille sausage. I love it soooooo much.
