shrimp gumbo
Louisiana seafood soup
Shrimp gumbo is a thick, stew-like soup from Louisiana Creole and Cajun cuisine, built on a dark roux base with shrimp as the primary protein.
The dish typically includes okra or filé powder as a thickener, along with the "holy trinity" of onion, celery, and bell pepper.
It's served over rice: We ordered shrimp gumbo at the French Quarter restaurant.
