cajun chicken sausage shrimp & crab gumbo
I have been making gumbo since my early 20's and I have never measured any of the ingredients. I always just cook by sight but I did try to measure them for this posting. I like my gumbo slightly spicy so you may want to use less cajun spices and eliminate the pepper sauce.
