Quick and Easy Gumbo

Posted on February 9, 2025 by Lanie Fioretti

Really simple and no roux, Quick and Easy Gumbo is a delicious lunch or supper.  I used shrimp and sausage, because that’s what I had.  But use any protein you like.  Fish, all seafood, shredded chicken – all good options.  If you don’t want to hand-chop the veggies, use a food processor on the pulse…
