I decided to put on a shrimp gumbo for dinner tonight. It's another cold night here and gumbo is another one of those comfort food for us southerners!
I did have one boo boo. When I picked up some frozen shrimp last week, I picked up a bag of shrimp that had not been peeled and still had the tails on. Ooops!
I fixed them anyway and it wasn't that much of a hassle to pop the out of the shells after they were cooked in the gumbo. I just didn't feel like boiling the shrimp and then peeling them all. The hubby groaned, but he wanted to eat.

King sized prawns used to be my favourite. These days I do not eat fish and meat.

Gumbo sounds like a really good choice for a cold winter night. I hate when I buy the wrong shrimp and have to clean them.
Last night we had fire roasted chicken, baked sweet potatoes and brcccoli.

I am jealous. My son doesn’t like shrimp gumbo and it’s so good.

Yesterday was a leftover chicken soft taco from lunch, along with a banana and fiber bar.

I don't eat shrimp but my boys loved it. I almost always made them peel them

@kareng That's how I felt. My son loves crab legs too. I don't eat any seafood as it bothers me but I wouldn't want to work that hard to eat anyways

I'm sorry you got the wrong shrimp for your gumbo, but used them anyway.
I've never had gumbo, though I want to try it. I keep hearing how good it is. However, if it turns out to be anything like cornbread, yes, I know it's a different kettle of fish I will never try it again. People kept raving about cornbread. I tried it. You can have it. It's not for me. However, I have a feeling gumbo will be.
