Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Keep frozen or refrigerated until ready to cook.
  2. For stovetop: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place the sealed bag of gumbo into the boiling water. Cook for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the bag using tongs (it will be very hot). Cut one corner of the bag with scissors and pour the gumbo into a serving bowl.
  3. For microwave: Cut one corner of the bag and pour the gumbo into a microwave-safe container (do not microwave in the cup). Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave on high for 5-6 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let stand for 1 minute before serving. Caution: container and gumbo will be very hot.

Recipe Tips

For extra flavor, garnish with chopped green onions or a dash of hot sauce before serving.

Serve over additional rice if you prefer a heartier meal.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
