Put some south in your mouth with Chef Kevin’s Classic Shrimp Gumbo, a soulful meal that celebrates the vibrant culinary heritage of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast. His gumbo starts the time-honored way with roux, a blend of fat and flour cooked and constantly whisked until it attains rich, savory, toasty flavor. Into that velvety smooth mix go onion, bell pepper, spicy Andouille sausage, plump shrimp and shrimp stock, and Cajun seasoning, a blend that includes cayenne, black pepper, and garlic. A dash of peppery, vinegary Tabasco sauce adds an extra touch of tradition. Chef Kevin ladles his gumbo over a fragrant and fluffy spiced Basmati rice pilaf. Warm corn muffins make for a perfect accompaniment. So would a fresh green salad. Either way, every bite of this meal is guaranteed to deliver a taste of pure southern comfort.
