Does the okra need to be included? I can't find Okra at my grocery store.

@Mirumikodesu - you can leave it out if you want. But check the frozen food section too. Most grocery stores carry okra.

Hi Scott, thank you for this step by step video! Can this entire recipe be made the night before and just heated up the next day or just parts of the recipe like the roux can be made ahead of time? Thanks!!

[ScooterSMcGee]

@bryannng - yes, I think it's actually better on the second day. If you're using shrimp wait to add it when you reheat the gumbo just prior to serving.

Thank You Scott for Posting Your Great Dishes and Very Informative Videos. I Like the Looks of that Very Large Cast Iron Enamel Pot... Is that the Le Creuset 13 1/4 Qt French/Dutch Oven?? I'm Looking to Buy One Like it or Something Similar, Thanks

[ScooterSMcGee]

@TheCl8ton :  The pot is the 15.5 quart Le Creuset Goose Pot… it’s the perfect size for large making quantities.

i feel like tobasco has an alienated flavor. like it just takes over and dominates. that being said i like habanero tobasco. but i might just use an entirely different hot sauce aside from tobasco. great vid though. thanks for sharing.

what about the crab legs?

I just made this recipe... it took me 2 hours to get the roux that dark! Lol... my stirring arm is exhausted, but I'm quietly optimistic about the results... will find out tomorrow, got it simmering now.

Thank you for this lovely recipe. The end product looks enticing.

I don't like okra very much - definitely not with shrimp and meat. Can you suggest an alternative vegetable - something that will not alter the basic taste of Gumbo?

[saritajakhere]

That was such a treat to watch. Slow cooked veggies and meat seasoned with love. :)
