I made this dish for Father's Day, Sunday, June 16th, and it was absolutely delicious. I know this because my family left nothing behind. I made it a little too spicy but they didn't seem to mind. I also added more shrimp than stated. Next time I'll add another seafood. I will definitely make it again and recommend it to others.

Delicious, amazing, full of flavor, my kitchen smelled of New Orleans the entire day I was cooking. I added crab and fish to my shrimp broth and kept everything the same and this is def a recipe that my family will continue to use. Thank you Alton!

I thought this was pretty good. My advice to others who thought it might be bland taste it before serving and add more spices or seasonings to your taste

Bland is the best way to describe this if you follow the recipe exactly. Needs more Cajun spice to make it taste like I've eaten down south. The recipe looked good and I had all the correct ingredients. There are.better recipes on the Food Network. Recommend you keep looking unless you like bland gumbo. My wife and I were both disappointed.

Extremely easy to make, the roux comes out perfect every time. Talk to your fish monger to see if you can get the shrimp shells and heads to save time, the stock freezes great.

A real winner! Love the idea of making shrimp stock and baking the roux gave it a deep rich flavor. No leftovers one of our guests who said he'd eaten gumbo all his life said it's the best he's ever had. Thank you for introducing me to a couple of great new techniques!

I'd give it a zero if I could. After 1.5 hours in the oven, I pulled the roux out and put it on the stove...added the onions and it immediately started smoking. I removed the Dutch oven and put it outside. After 20 minutes I went out to find a Dutch oven with CHARRED onions inside. Complete waste of time. Very disappointed.
