Receta Chicken, Andouille and Shrimp Gumbo
So as I said in my last posting I am doing a Gumbo. I found out my dear friends from IA actually sort of follow Emeril's recipe, then I found through halfhourmeals.com a true Louisiana lady who also had an interesting recipe in her blog "First, Make a Roux". If you are new at making a Gumbo, I would seriously check her blog as she has fantastic easy steps as well as hints to follow. So those two were my inspiration.
