A Little Gumbo for Dinner

[BYBBQ]

Got hungry for some gumbo. So, I went by the seafood market and picked up so shrimp and scallops for the gumbo.
Not the best pics but you get the idea

Bacon, scallops, and shrimp


diced trinity(onion,celery, green pepper) & sliced Okra


Frying the chopped bacon in the Dutch oven


Sauteing the trinity in the bacon grease after removing the bacon


Add back in the bacon. Plus water, rice, and spices. turn down heat and simmer


With about 10 minutes to go for the rice to be done. add in the okra, scallops, and shrimp. Cook til done


Almost done


A bowl of gumbo served with cornbread slathered with butter


Mmm Mmm Good

I had a tech rep from NooOrlins who used to come up to KC for a week now and then to do some training for my people. Our training facility had a kitchen and he would make just killer gumbo for the group.
