If u ask 100 folks how 2 make gumbo, u will get 100 different ways everybody makes it. The common thread is that "true" gumbo makers understand the importance of a good seafood-stock. This guy clearly knows that & along with a good roux, his gumbo gota b rock'n steady! Great video!!!
Russ i watch this video of yours time and time again. Seafood Gumbo was may grandmothers specialty and i have never got my nerve up to do it since she passed "God bless her soul" but the more I watch your video makes me more and more want to give it a try
This guy is inspirational! I am amazed by his expert techniques, and overwhelmed at the thought of me ever accomplishing this! I am left sure that I could never make Gumbo as well as he does, and yearning to find him and eat his Gumbo! Kudos!
melvin george I'm right there with you Melvin. Displaced Cajun here, grew up in Houma, LA. I'm not sure who taught this guy how to cook Gumbo, but they had some kind of Cajun blood in them. Hmm, I need to make a gumbo... or perhaps a jambalaya... or roast beef poboys... decisions, haha
My Grandfather on my Dad's side of the family was full blooded French from Cajun country. I guess my love for Cajun food comes from that, or it could be because it's the best tasting food in the world! ;)
Excellently done Russ, thank you for sharing... if only we had the fresh seafood here in the rest of the USA... i miss my Moms creole gumbo... a little ole full blooded french lady who lived her entire life in New Orleans. her's was a little browner, i don't recall her adding tomatoes, or at least i didn't notice, but i do remember her adding a handful of chopped oysters. i guess you'er wondering why I am talking so much about my mom.. Well it's Mother's Day today 05/10/2015 and it's more than just her gumbo i miss... Happy Mothers Day to all the beautiful Moms!!!! :)
Finally someone on UA-cam who cooks gumbo right.🙌 I'm from Louisiana and it's soo annoying how so many people claim their making gumbo and it's not even close.
Do you have a wife??? lol I'm just kidding but man THIS IS IT!!! Brings back memories of me being in the kitchen with my Big Mama.... I'll definitely use your recipe for New Years. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I have watched about a dozen videos on how to make Seafood Gumbo and many are from New Orleans. This video is by far the best I've seen yet! I think I am ready to start cooking Gumbo. Big thumbs up from Grandma Lola of Bam Bam Kids TV
Man I've been in my kitchen for about 4 hours now (had a couple of ingredient snags and a trip to the store) and whoowee. My whole house smells fantastic. I'm maybe 30 minute out from serving and I'm genuinely excited. Thank you for uploading this for folks like me who can't quite remember how to make gumbo. -A displaced Alabamian in Florida
I used to live in South Louisiana (Houma) to work in an oilfield company, and let me tell you, the food was fantastic.! I miss the days where I enjoyed Gumbo, Jambalaya, Crawfish, Shrimp Pasta, Good sea food, and above all, the warming attention from the Southeners..thanks Louisiana..the men's sport paradise..!!
Alabama boy here. I have spent years in Louisiana and I have never heard of using a reduction. Wow! that is definitely a twist I am going to incorporate! Also.... If there is anyone out there that has never tried Conecuh sausage you gotta try it! One can only find it in the deep south. i.e. Alabama, Misssissippi, Louisiana and the Florida panhandle. I also use it in gumbo. To me it is much better than andoulli. This is an awesome recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Rus, this recipe is very close to what my mom, my uncle in Hattiesburg and my aunt in Mobile made. I never got a paper copy before they passed, so I'll be using yours. Thank you!
This was my first time watching someone cook gumbo. Fantastic! I can't wait to try it. You did an outstanding job explaining the process. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! My husband found it in 2015 and it has been our favorite gumbo recipe. We should know, living on the Gulf Coast! It is also something we cook together and it takes us all day. We LOVE it!!!
Your welcome and thank you for the feedback! Glad y'all have enjoyed the recipe! Being Gulf Coast residents, then you know good gumbo when you taste it :)
Great tip on making it a super stock! That had to be some fine eats!! And you are right, it doesn't get much better than a homemade seafood gumbo. Great video Rus!! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you and Terynia a Very Happy New Year!!
Thank you Troy! Troy, it's these little things you can do to a gumbo that makes a good gumbo, a great gumbo. It was so fine, and I have over 2 gallons separated and in the freezer for future meals. Hope you and Karen had a great Christmas as well! Happy New Year brother :)
Of course the 2 guys I watch the most on cooking videos would be friends.... Yall both make some great videos, my friends and family think I am some type of Super Chef because of you two.
My mom puts the same dried shrimp in the gumbo and let me tell you!! Absolutely amazing I try not to eat them all by themselves.😂 I'm from Baton Rouge Louisiana
I would call this gumbo close to home . The reason I say this is, this is as close to what I remember my mother making, while I was growing up, than any gumbo that I have seen, to this day . When mother would make her gumbo, couldn't wait til it was cooked, but it was always better on the following day . And to me, of course, hers was always the best . It was slightly on the spicy hot side, that while I was eating it, I would sweat from my forehead . Being that I'm from Mobile Alabama, I have tasted a number of seafood gumbo . My mother is almost 87 now, and no where near able of making her gumbo today . Those were truly the good old days . Thanks for sharing the video, even though it has been on UA-cam for some time now . Man; that's some good stuff !!!!
+Thomas Ballard Thomas, that sounds just like me growing up and anticipating mama's gumbo as she was cooking it. Nothing is ever better than when mama did it. Thanks so much for the comment, and your not all that far away from me. I'm here in Biloxi
This may be the greatest thing I've ever seen. I love Gumbo and yours looked so good I was drooling like a dog! You just cant beat good Cajun cooking. Love it thanks for the recipe!
when I made your version of gumbo I used lobster shells, ( used the heads and tails ) to make my seafood stock along with the shrimp bodies, it was soooo good
Yeah it was, I live in Vancouver Canada and I go to my local fresh seafood market and buy 2 or 3 lobster bodies for like $4. each, I save all the crab legs, ship shells and lobster tails that I eat then I just freeze them and when I want to make my stock I pull them out and cook it all up and once its all made ( the gumbo that is ) I will freeze it and when ever I want it I will pull out a small container and use it for dinner and my lunch at work the next day
Yeah, I like to portion a gumbo out in one quart freezer bags after I cook a big pot, and then freeze it. It freezes very well, and really handy when wanting something great to eat, but not in the mood for a long cook. I also freeze shrimp heads and shells, and crab shells and such when I cook seafood to save for a good stock.
@@SmokyRibsBBQ I'm just tuning in to your channel and has been watching all day.. I'm hooked... I love Gumbo but never knew how to make it. I didnt even know you suppose to use the shells from shrimp and crablegs. Jesus! thank you! I'm definitely gone try this❤❤
Your cooking videos are the best! Its the quality of the ingredients & seasonings, the great cook ware and the way that you explain things intelligently and at a perfect pace! I'm a loyal subscriber brother!
WELL DONE ! YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO THOSE WHO APPRECIATE GOOD FOOD AND ARE HESITANT TO JUST JUMP IN AND TRY. MUCH LIKE RACHEL RAY GIVING THESE STEP BY STEP TUTORIALS, YOU INSPIRE WOULD BE FOODIES INTO ACTION. I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE OUT THERE TO START WITH SOMETHING SIMPLE AND THAT SUCCESS WILL BREED SUCCESS AND EVENTUALLY YOU CAN TACKLE THIS FANTASTIC GUMBO RECIPE. AS THIS MAN POINTS OUT, THE FLAVORS THAT COME OUT ARE UNREAL ! WAY TO GO DUDE !!!
Love how nothing is wasted.. Solid flavor and nutrients. Lord does that look good. That is some intense cooking skills passed down to all the kids. Appreciate that.
(Disclaimer: I'm Canadian) I've always heard of gumbo, I know it's a southern thing, but I've never tried it, or seen it, or really had an clue what it is. Great video!
+Exile N Subjugate I hope you get to try gumbo one day. It's so tasty and has always been a top favorite with people in this region. Thank you for watching, I appreciate it
+Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine I'll have to try to make my own since I don't plan on being in Louisiana any time soon, I'll be sure to use your recipe Cheers!
I tried your recipe, and I must say it is the best Gumbo I have ever had in my life. Some of my family from Louisiana even asked me for the recipe. I gave them your name on here and they absolutely loved it. Thank u for sharing!!!!
Been looking up gumbo recipes all day AND LOW AND BEHOLD!!! I FOUND IT.!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! but you almost lost me cleaning those crabs in the beginning lol. So glad I toughed it out and kept watching because I'M MAKING YOUR RECIPE FOR NEW YEAR'S. SO I'LL BE SPENDING TUESDAY COOKING IT SO IT'LL BE FANTASTIC ON WEDNESDAYS... GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY..HAPPY NEW YEAR'S 😊😊
I'm hooked & had to subscribe after watching this!! God bless you for sharing your cooking..it looks incredibly delicious with all the fresh seafood the crabs, shrimps, crab meat & your tips about baking the okra before adding it. I'm from California this is my first time watching how to make Southern food & I can say it's really something special!! I would love to live in the South & experience the Southern hospitality! What I have been missing out on all my life!!!! Blessings to you all ♥♥ xoxo
Dang Rus, that was some serious gumbo! Those are some excellent tips and tricks, I've never added tomatoes to a gumbo, sounds really good. A bowl of that would cost you $20 in a restaurant.
Thanks Tom! The addition of tomatoes and okra is what classifies it as a Creole gumbo. That's the way I was raised eating and making it. I've had it without tomatoes but will choose tomatoes any day over that. Give it a try one day and let me know what you think. It really adds a nice element into the gumbo. $20 in a restaurant is why I make it my self, lol! I ended up with enough to eat two meals with, and still froze over 2 gallons. That's the way to do it ;)
I've watched a lot of videos on making gumbo and I guarantee this will be the first one I try. It's been a long time since I made gumbo and I lost my recipe I had when I was growing up way down south in a little town called Cut Off on Bayou Lafourche. Thanks for sharing.
The dried shrimp, with the non- slimey okra & the wine in the seafood stock. The seafood stock concentrate. This guy does not play! Very impressed. Different then how I due it, but so much better. This man is a saint, he really cares.
Take Vyvanse like I do, then cook this three hours before it wears off. That way the focus meds wear off right when you get hungry and when the gumbo is done! Lol!
Thank you Ken, and thanks so much for supporting my channel! I appreciate it a lot! Hope you and your family have a Happy New Year, and that 2015 brings you and your family much success! :)
This s%^t was amazing...pain in the ass to make,(just takes time--like you said), but i grabbed some seafood from Fayards in ocean springs and gave it a whirl. just an amazing creole gumbo recipe. best seafood gumbo i've ever eaten.
Hey, you must be really close to me. Fayards is only minutes from where I live. Yeah, a good gumbo takes a lot of work, but always worth the effort, and the best part, is the left overs freeze really good, so you can still enjoy it months from now. Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!
Oh mmmaaannnn!!! That's a damn good lookin gumbo! I'm going fishing/crabbing next weekend and there is NOTHING I love more than bringing home a haul for gumbo. Thanks for the recipe. I look forward to trying it!
The best thing about Gumbo is, it's good anytime of day or night! I love it. It is very time consuming, but well worth the wait. Will be doing a big pot for Christmas this year.
Yes, I can eat gumbo anytime. Very worth the effort, and I always make sure to make enough to freeze in 1 quart bags that will get me through months anytime I'm craving gumbo. Sounds like you will be eating really good this Christmas :) Thanks for watching!
Thank you for calling it a Creole style Gumbo . I could tell looking at the opening pic that you used carrots tomatos wine and Worsterchire sauce . Cajun gumbo is looser , not near as chunky and will never have tomatos in it and no carrots used in stock . What you have there is Gulf coast gumbo you get from New Orleans on east .
MR. RUS, SIR...I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT GUMBO! I'M FROM PHILLY AND I CAME TO YOUR RECIPE 2YRS AGO AND I COME BACK EVERY YEAR! I MAKE THIS EVERY CHRISTMAS SINCE THEN! IT IS SO FLAVORFUL AND GOOD! I COOK LIKE I'M FROM DOWN SOUTH! THANK YOU FOR THE RECIPE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY'S
When the cook knows to save the shrimps shells and heads and crab shells and parts to add to his stock, he knows how to cook!! Adding store bought cajun seasoning is OK but let nature provide all the rest of the great flavors! Going to make gumbo tonight and going to make it your way!
I need a youtube filter that will prevent me from watching cruel taunting videos like this. I want a big bowl of this so bad, but where I live it will never happen.
Watch me without ads on your TV! Amazon Fire TV Link - bit.ly/Delish_FireTV

This was fascinating to watch. Never even knew what gumbo was until now. I can only imagine how good it tastes.
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching, I sure appreciate it :)

Gwen Winzer - Taste-o-vision? Heck, I'd settle for 'Smell-o-vision' right about now.....!
Out of all the gumbo videos this is the best one hands down. I can't stop watching..
This gumbo is the truth. I followed it to the tee. I am addicted.
OleensEmbroidery Thanks for the feedback, and glad you like it :)
Me too made it cpl yrs ago

Excellently done Russ, thank you for sharing... if only we had the fresh seafood here in the rest of the USA... i miss my Moms creole gumbo... a little ole full blooded french lady who lived her entire life in New Orleans. her's was a little browner, i don't recall her adding tomatoes, or at least i didn't notice, but i do remember her adding a handful of chopped oysters. i guess you'er wondering why I am talking so much about my mom..

Tomatoes don't go in gumbo.
Real gumbo doesn't have tomato. This guy is a fraud
My grandmother used dried shrimp. Your the first recipe I've found with this ingredient. Ive found the truth!

How was it ?
From what I can recall 5 years ago, it was fantastic

I like your laid back style of cooking. You know your way around the kitchen well and your cool in my book. Best of luck to you.

The dried shrimp, with the non- slimey okra & the wine in the seafood stock. The seafood stock concentrate. This guy does not play! Very impressed. Different then how I due it, but so much better. This man is a saint, he really cares.
I love this guy, but I could never recreate this recipe. Ever.
+Puppycakez you can if you believe you can...
QueefJuiceOverflow The ADHD is just too strong.
Take Vyvanse like I do, then cook this three hours before it wears off. That way the focus meds wear off right when you get hungry and when the gumbo is done! Lol!
+bcgmktg I usually get hungry the day after which would be perfect for this recipe!
+MsBellaFate I thought I was the only one to get hungry the day after my medicine and cooking in general!
absolutely speechless & drooling!! you know the right type of seasonings to use too. great breakfast after a night of heavy drinking.
Give this man a tv show
That would be nice :D
Hes making his own!
You sir are a chef. Well spoken, clear and concise
Awesome Gumbo Rus...No wonder your channel is on fire! Hope you have a Great 2015!
Thank you Ken, and thanks so much for supporting my channel! I appreciate it a lot! Hope you and your family have a Happy New Year, and that 2015 brings you and your family much success! :)
Thank you Rus..you too brother.
This guy knows his stuff! Been making this for a few years and I LOVE IT!!!!
Will you marry me? Lol....this looks soooooooooo good!!
I followed this recipe to the tee on. Christmas 2018. My family STILLS talking about that. One million thanks, WHO DAT 🖤💛🖤💛
This s%^t was amazing...pain in the ass to make,(just takes time--like you said), but i grabbed some seafood from Fayards in ocean springs and gave it a whirl. just an amazing creole gumbo recipe. best seafood gumbo i've ever eaten.
Hey, you must be really close to me. Fayards is only minutes from where I live. Yeah, a good gumbo takes a lot of work, but always worth the effort, and the best part, is the left overs freeze really good, so you can still enjoy it months from now. Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!
This video should come up FIRST when searching for "gumbo recipe." I don't know why it doesn't. This is the GOLD STANDARD for gumbo. Seriously!
Yummy!
Simone 212 YOU'RE SOO BEAUTIFUL SWEETFACE
Oh mmmaaannnn!!! That's a damn good lookin gumbo! I'm going fishing/crabbing next weekend and there is NOTHING I love more than bringing home a haul for gumbo. Thanks for the recipe. I look forward to trying it!
The yellow stuff and orange eggs inside the crab is seafood butter!!! I eat that whole thing! Yummmmo!!!!
The best thing about Gumbo is, it's good anytime of day or night! I love it. It is very time consuming, but well worth the wait. Will be doing a big pot for Christmas this year.
Yes, I can eat gumbo anytime. Very worth the effort, and I always make sure to make enough to freeze in 1 quart bags that will get me through months anytime I'm craving gumbo. Sounds like you will be eating really good this Christmas :) Thanks for watching!
I really wish you'd mention the contents of the seasoning when you use mixes for those of us that aren't in your region to buy that stuff.
Just Google Cajun seasoning recipe and it will work
Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine Thank you very much for the reply.
Your welcome
Thank You Sir!!! Never Knew a out baking okra, or the dried shrimp. Will try.
Thank you for calling it a Creole style Gumbo . I could tell looking at the opening pic that you used carrots tomatos wine and Worsterchire sauce . Cajun gumbo is looser , not near as chunky and will never have tomatos in it and no carrots used in stock . What you have there is Gulf coast gumbo you get from New Orleans on east .
So what. I like tomatoes in my gumbo..his gumbo look better then some on UA-cam. I hate watery gumbo
@@courtneyjames8223 he's saying it's an accurate description bc Creole has tomatoes and Cajun doesn't.
MR. RUS, SIR...I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT GUMBO! I'M FROM PHILLY AND I CAME TO YOUR RECIPE 2YRS AGO AND I COME BACK EVERY YEAR! I MAKE THIS EVERY CHRISTMAS SINCE THEN! IT IS SO FLAVORFUL AND GOOD!
I COOK LIKE I'M FROM DOWN SOUTH! THANK YOU FOR THE RECIPE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY'S
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for letting me know.
All I can say is DAMN!
you got me in the kitchen right now off this video thanks rus
Marcus Cartel Good deal! Your welcome ;)
Wish I could just smell it...
When the cook knows to save the shrimps shells and heads and crab shells and parts to add to his stock, he knows how to cook!! Adding store bought cajun seasoning is OK but let nature provide all the rest of the great flavors! Going to make gumbo tonight and going to make it your way!
I need a youtube filter that will prevent me from watching cruel taunting videos like this. I want a big bowl of this so bad, but where I live it will never happen.
