Return of the Gumbo

Today’s Menu: Shrimp and Scallop Gumbo

Slowly becoming one of my favorites, Shrimp and Scallop Gumbo! Added an extra ingredient this time, I added Craw Fish Tail Meat. It made a great Gumbo just a little bit better! I made a huge pot full. Enough for leftovers for tomorrow and also to freeze enough for a couple of servings. I listed the recipe below.

Ingredients

1 Pound of Shrimp and Sea Scallops

1 Bag of  Boudreaux Crawfish Meat

4 Slices of Turkey Bacon

2 Russet Potatoes (Diced)
