A seafood gumbo mix recipe that tastes authentic and is so easy to make
This seafood gumbo mix recipe is for those occasions when you don't have the time to make a traditional gumbo using a roux. Of course making a roux from scratch will always make the best gumbo but this mix recipe will get you very close to the original.I have used this mix several times and I recommend it. It is outstanding to take to your tailgate events for a fast and hearty meal. It is recommended for camping trips too. But do not hesitate to make this at home for your family or for guests. It is really excellent for a fast and easy recipe that can be made in minutes.
