1 1/2 teaspoons House Seasoning, recipe follows
1 cup chicken or fish stock
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
10-ounce package frozen cut okra
2 cups shrimp, cleaned, peeled, and deveined

very yummy!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe. I did make a change though. Instead of Paula's "house seasoning" I opted for Tony Chachere's Herbs &... Spice seasoning...making it more spicy and a little garlic, an extra bay leaf. It is a keeper, we LOVE it.Read more

Great seafood gumbo
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and son do not like gumbo, but I was watching your show and wanted to cook something different with the shrimp I... had in the refridgerator. I added some smoked sausage to the recipe and both my husband and son could not stop eating it. This dish would be great to make on a camping on an open fire. Thanks for the good recipes.Read more

Easy Recipe, But...
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I needed a gumbo fix but I didn't want to spend all night making a classic, slow-cooked gumbo. I saw this recipe and the... short prep and cook time and gave it a try. I had my doubts about the garlic powder in the "house" seasoning. Real garlic would have been better in this dish. Pepper? Would have liked hot sauce more. Celery? I followed the recipe but I just don't like the flavor it added. The cornbread didn't cook in the allotted time. I doubled the bake time, then broiled for a couple of minutes to get some brownness on top. Overall, it tasted salty. Even without ham or sausage, the dish was heavy. It needs some acidity and greenness to lighten it up. Maybe a few squeezes of lemon juice (skip the lemon pepper) and some fresh parsley would do the trick. Sorry Paula. I didn't like the diced tomatoes either. Everything looked separate on the dish. Would use crushed tomatoes next time and have everything swimming happily in a nice sauce. As a stew, without the clunky cornbread, served over rice - this recipe would be just fine. Just don't call it a gumbo though.Read more

concerning House Seasoning
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The recipe at the end is for a quantity of her House Seasoning. The recipe itself calls for 1 1/2 teaspoons, NOT the... whole recipe ! Add andouille and Emeril's BAM and you have a great dish !Read more

Love it! And my boyfriend did too!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I also switched out the okra with spinach and I didn't have thyme - so I mixed sea salt, pepper, and lemon pepper and that... was JUST the best combo to make this spicy and delicious. I have pictures!Read more

Needs Tweaking
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I followed the directions, but the okra was mushy and disgusting, and the gumbo flavor was weak. Also the consistency was... not really that of a gumbo. I removed the okra and replaced with fresh spinach, added some heavy cream, more thyme and basil, a bit more broth and turned it into a stew which saved it. I skipped the cornbread topping and served with actual cornbread. Would not make this again.Read more
