Ingredients
Instructions
- Keep the gumbo frozen or refrigerated until ready to use.
- To heat the gumbo on the stovetop: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place the sealed bag of gumbo in the pot and cook for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the bag (it will be very hot), cut one corner with scissors and pour into a serving bowl.
- Alternatively, to heat in the microwave: 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. Caution: the container and soup will be very hot.
- For the garlic bread: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the garlic bread on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Separate into slices and serve alongside the gumbo.
Recipe Tips
For extra flavor, garnish the gumbo with chopped fresh parsley or green onions.
If you prefer a spicier gumbo, add a dash of hot sauce before serving.
The garlic bread can be kept warm in a low oven while you finish preparing the gumbo.
FAQ
Can I use frozen shrimp instead of the included shrimp?
The gumbo already contains shrimp, so no additional shrimp is needed. If you want to add more, thaw and add cooked shrimp at the end.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftover gumbo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Can I make this gumbo in a slow cooker?
This recipe is designed for quick heating, but you can transfer the gumbo to a slow cooker on low to keep it warm for serving.
