I made his tonight, I've started Weight Watchers, saw this recipe a few weeks ago on the Food Network channel. It's really very good and not high in fat or sodium. I did cook the rice prior to adding to the chicken stock, not thinking about the celery not being cooked. Also I had a pound of precooked frozen shrimp in the freezer I used. Didn't use Okra at all, not sure what taste Okra has, if anyone knows please let me know what vegetable I can use to substitute. Thanks!

Goodish, but next time I wont add the rice to the gumbo but serve over it. The rice absorbed all the liquid, I added 2 more cups and then another before serving. I'll make again, but modify by adding some fresh parsley, green onions and NO okra.
