“I loved this recipe! I had to do some substitutions because I have Celiac and Alpha Gal Syndrome. I used my plant butter, same amount as recipe and my gluten free flour. The roux came together perfect! No meat for me because of the Alpha Gal so I had my husban” — a cook, 5★

“My first gumbo or made up dish doesn’t matter to me. I wanted to have lots of okra and shrimp as well as sausage and tomatoes. My very favorite dish. Seasoning just right. Side of rice in bowl but could just eat as a soup.” — a cook, 5★
