This is a very tasty gumbo. Had to play around with the spices to get it to our liking, but very good. I didn't have a pan big enough to make the whole recipe so I used my 7-8 qt. crockpot and it was full to the brim. I made this to take to work, but then forgot to pack it up when I left. Makes a huge amount. Thanks for posting.
