The Real Deal Gumbo
"Cooking the okra separately before adding it to this shrimp gumbo lets you enjoy its silkiness without the sliminess. The soup—thickened with a roux (see step 2) and flavored with sausage, onion, bell pepper, garlic, and Cajun seasoning—is a real traditional Cajun recipe, full of shrimp and perfect for serving over rice...."
