Crock Pot Chicken and Sausage Gumbo With Shrimp

I made this last night and it turned out delicious!!! My sweet hubby normally makes his from scratch on the stove, and it's very good. Last night though he told me that the gumbo making is now my job...lol...so he definitely gave it 5 stars! :) This was also my first attempt at ever making gumbo, so anybody out there can do this! :) I've always been intimidated by the roux, but it was so easy! I'm a Louisiana girl as well, so this was every bit Louisiana as New Orleans is...lol...For me it was spicy enough. Probably because of the sausage I used along with the cayenne pepper I added. I also added crawfish since we were out of shrimp! :) Soooo good. Having the leftovers for dinner tonight after church! Can't wait to see how good it tastes after it sits in the fridge!

Used this recipe for a Ladies' Nite Out at church in Alabama and now all the ladies want it! I'm from Louisiana and it totally reminds me of home! Nicely done. :)

We thought this was ok. As my husband put it....it was "gumbo-ish". Not a true gumbo. That being said, other Gumbos we have made have taken HOURS and this one you just threw together and walked away while it cooked. So, I guess we can't really complain, right? All in all a tasty recipe that I will make again, but if I am looking for a true gumbo, I will spend the time to do it.

Delicious! The best gumbo we've had in a long time and the directions were excellent and simple to follow! Thanks Rita for posting this recipe. We will definitely be making this again.

This was a bit hit at our house. The timing of the roux is exactly right. I used andouille sausage and browned my chicken with it together. I added fresh peeled shrimp 20 minutes at the end. One of my son's loved the heat and the other doused it with hot sauce. Next time I think I will add some file as I like that taste. Made for Photo Tag.

I found this recipe to be somewhat bland, which surprised me considering all the veggies, garlic, etc. I'm going to add some Louisiana Hot Sauce and a little more salt to the leftovers. Hopefully this will help.

I made this with Jambalaya sausage and it was a big hit.

We really liked this! I made as written, except omitted the chicken because I am allergic to it and increased the sausage and shrimp slightly. DH had JUST started weight watchers when I made this (I had bought the ingredients before he had decided, so I told him too bad I was making it anyway) and to our surprise it was only 13 points per serving. I know for some thats alot, but it worked well for him.

Wow! That was good. Only change I would make is that I chose a cajun saugage that was a bit oily. Next time I would choose maybe a spicy turkey saugage. I am with one of the previous posts about kicking it up a notch with some hot sause - Bam! What a great recipe. Thank you.

This recipe is tops in my book. I did make a few changes. I browned the chicken and sausage in the oil and made the roux from the drippings. I added 1 1/2 teaspoon of file gumbo seasoning. I also cheated and used a pakage of frozen gumbo vegetables which made it really fast and easy. The flavor was perfect and I plan to use this one over and over. Thanks for sharing Rita!!!

I am going to say that considering how much this made (LOTS) and how little was left (practically nothing), it was a hit! Man, stirring the roux . . . my arm still hurts! :) Great recipe, even DD liked it, and I liked that I could have a shrimp dish and she could eat the same dish without complaining. It just took judicious ladling to avoid shrimp. :)

This recipe is excellent. I made it two nights ago in the hopes it would be similar to the Gumbo served at one of my favorite resaurants. It was my first attempt at Gumbo and it turned out fantastic! The only thing I did different was that I added a little flour at the end to thicken it.
