I am going to try this, but will substitute black pepper for "red pepper flakes" or 2T of Tabasco sauce and add some minced garlic to the recipe. I think this is a good pared down "Cajun" gumbo recipe. - 7/27/08

I didn't think to add the tabasco sauce to the receipe cause my hubby is a spice wimp. What can I say he's not from N.O.LA. I always add it after cooking. Found it very difficult to write this cause mom taught me to add a little of this & that. I don't think she owned a measuring cup!
