Chicken and Shrimp Gumbo

Submitted by mliss29

"This is from a magazine called Woman's World. I sometimes make it with no chicken and a pound of shrimp. I recommend chopping up all the ingredients for the gumbo, mixing up your favorite corn bread and popping it in the oven to bake, and then cooking the gumbo."
