    This was the first time that I made gumbo and I am happy to report that my husband loved it. Thanks! :-

    One of our favorite seafood resturants closed and they had the best gumbo. My husband and I loved it. I made this for my husband and he LOVED it. I made it with boneless chicken breast instead, and not too much hot sauce. I have made it several times and my husband and son love it even more everytime I make it. Thanks!

    I have made this many times since seeing it on TV. The first time I made it I misread the recipe and put ALL the hot sauce in, and have continued to do so ever since. It gives the dish perfect heat. I also cut the chicken thighs slightly larger for really tender moist pieces.

    Cilantro does not belong in Cajun Gumbo or any Cajun recipe. Didn't try it, just read it. Recipe looks good, bbut CILANTRO is way out of place.

    I thought gumbo was supposed to be a long and arduous task that only "Louisiana-ites" could do. I was quite surprised at how easy and how well this recipe turned out. I didn't have the ingredients for the hot sauce, so I just substituted some cayenne pepper instead and it worked out great. I barely had any left over for lunch tomorrow with everyone getting second helpings!! I think I'd cut the chicken into smaller pieces and/or use less chicken than the recipe calls for, but really, other than that, it was AWESOME!!!

    I just made this recipe tonight and I thought it was delicious. However, I didn't give it 5 stars namely because of the hot sauce recipe. While I thought the hot sauce was very good, it was no where near as hot as it should have been, in my opinion. I think perhaps some of the seeds and membrane should be left in. As I taste-tested the sauce, I found I could easily eat a tablespoon by itself without wincing! So adding 1T to a full pot of gumbo is disproportionate. I ended up adding several more tbspns to my bowl alone. Also, I think 7 minutes to cook the shrimp is overkill. My 16-20 ct shrimp were fully cooked at 4 minutes. In addition, I seasoned my chicken and shrimp with Emeril's Essence. Such a versatile spice mix and perfect for this dish.

    This stew is excellent!!! The hot sauce added an extra kick that made it perfect.

    I have made gumbo many times before but i usually use the store bought packages and make my additions. This was a great recipe and it tastes better than the ones I've had in restaurants. The bourbon gives it a kick! I didn't make the hot sauce but just used bottled sauce i had at home. Will definitely make again!!! Thanks a lot
