These Authentic Seafood Gumbo Recipes Are Absolutely Delicious.Seafood gumbo recipes are the most popular it is said and likely the first choice made by diners when visiting New Orleans. 
A shrimp gumbo could be lighter in color with a touch of tomato sauce added. Oyster and okra are common down on the Louisiana coast and is highly recommended. During my childhood in south Louisiana many items were seasonal. My mother would use whatever was available fresh and she created delicious gumbos using different seafood singly and in combination. She would add some andouille (lean smoked sausage) or tasso (heavily smoked lean pork) to infuse a slight spicy and smokey flavor. Ummm ummm good. When seasonal items from the Gulf of Mexico were not available we used catfish caught locally and that became a family favorite. You are encouraged to experiment with seafoods available in your area. Because gumbo is so flexible you can substitute many types of fish and shell fish and get fantastic results. Lobster, clam or mussels are examples. Or you can simply follow the recipes found on this site to create the perfect gumbo.
