seafood gumbo on the go!
I love gumbo but hate how long it takes to make. I decided to save time by using a gumbo mix instead of making my roux. My mom is my hardest critic and she loved it. When I have the time I will continue to do everything from scratch but this recipe is for those who are short on time.

Step 1You will need a large stock pot and a large saute pan. PREP: Take your celery, bell pepper, onion and baby corn diced and set to the side. Diced you sausage and set it to the side. Rinse you crab to ensure there isn't any dirt on them. Peel your deveined shrimp (I leave the tails on). Open all of you can products.
