Notes

For a richer flavor, consider making your own chicken broth or using seafood stock. Adjust the spice level according to your preference by increasing or decreasing the amount of cayenne pepper. Be sure not to overcook the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy. This dish pairs well with rice or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful gumbo broth.
