Ingredients
Instructions
- Keep frozen or refrigerated until ready to use.
- Recommended stovetop method: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place the sealed bag of gumbo into the boiling water and cook for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the bag (it will be very hot). Cut one corner with scissors and pour the gumbo into a serving bowl.
- Alternative microwave method: Cut one corner of the bag and pour the gumbo into a microwave-safe container (do not microwave in the bag). Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave on high for 5-6 minutes, stirring halfway through. Be cautious-the container and gumbo will be very hot.
Recipe Tips
For extra flavor, serve over cooked white rice.
Adjust the spice level by adding hot sauce or Cajun seasoning to taste.
If using the microwave method, let the gumbo stand for 1-2 minutes after heating to allow even temperature distribution.
