We successfully dodged the bullet of the ice storm. Awoke this morning to clear skies and cold temps. Belle said that she wanted some kind of soup or stew for lunch, and I started diffing in the freezer. I found two partial packs of good Gulf shrimp that we could cook, so I chopped some onions and bell peppers and decided to make a shrimp gumbo.
Seafood gumbo is not my forte. I am much more comfortable with a chicken/sausage gumbo, but I gave it a shot anyway. Toward the latter part of the process, I knew it needed something, but my palate would not give me the clue. I had Belle taste it and we decided that a bit of red pepper flakes would help it.
Wehn the rice is done, we will get a bowl.
