Seafood Gumbo
Seafood Gumbo is a delicious and flavorful Creole dish that originated in Louisiana. It typically consists of a thick stew-like base made with a roux (butter and flour mixture), vegetables (such as onions, bell peppers, and celery), a variety of seafood (like shrimp, crab, and sometimes fish or oysters), and seasonings like Cajun spices, bay leaves, and thyme. It’s often served over rice and is a popular dish in Southern cuisine.
