This was so delicious, easy to prepare, used brown rice instead of white rice and still had lots of flavor.Will add a can of diced tomatoes next time. Also if you cannot find fresh lump crabmeat, the canned "chicken of the sea" version worked well. Husband asked to add it to dinner rotation. This is a winner for kids and husband, will make again.

THIS WAS REALLY GOOD. I USED ONLY 1/2 TSP OF CAYENNE PEPPER AND IT WAS STILL VERY HOT BUT VERY GOOD. NEXT TIME I'LL BE EASY ON THE PEPPER. :O

I did not add the haddock or oysters or seafood stock. I used chicken stock instead b/c I had it on hand already and I used shrimp, crab, and some chicken. Delicous! Next time I think I will add some andouille sausage for some extra cajun flavor. I am from New Orleans and this "Slumbo" is pretty close to the real "Gumbo". I will definitely be keeping this recipe to make agian!
