LAZY MAN'S GUMBO
This is a family favorite. My great-grandmother named this dish. Unlike most other seafood gumbos, this has all ingredients cleaned and shelled and ready to eat. It requires no work effort to enjoy!

Continue to add flour in small amounts until a paste is formed, whisking constantly. Brown the flour Brown the flour to at least a deep camel color. You can brown to a darker brown. The darker the color the stronger the flavor. Be careful not to burn the roux. If burned, you will have to start again. When done, set the roux aside.

- 12. Add dried shrimp/shrimp powder to the pot. Stir well. Continue to simmer. You may add dried shrimp whole if you prefer, rather than to grind to a powder.
- 13. When chicken is nearly tender, add okra to the pot, stir, and continue to simmer.
- 14. To thicken the gumbo, you may add the roux to the gumbo 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir well with each addition. Give the gumbo a few moments to thicken after each addition.

POOR MAN'S GUMBO
I found this recipe in a Rachael Ray magazine. It's delicious, hearty, and surprisingly inexpensive! It has quickly become one of my favorite dishes. Just a heads up, this makes A LOT of gumbo. It feeds me for about 5 days. I'd guess that it would last a family of 4 about 2 days.
