Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo is a hearty and flavorful dish rooted in Creole and Cajun cuisine, originating from Louisiana. This classic stew combines tender shrimp, smoky sausage, okra, onions, bell peppers, and celery, all simmered in a richly seasoned broth thickened with a roux made from flour and oil. Typically seasoned with spices like cayenne and paprika, gumbo boasts layers of bold flavors. While abundant in protein from the shrimp and sausage, it can be high in sodium and fat depending on the type of sausage and preparation. Gumbo also features nutrient-rich vegetables like okra and peppers, which contribute vitamins and fiber. Traditionally served over white rice, the dish provides a filling meal, but replacing white rice with brown rice or adjusting sodium content can make this Southern favorite a healthier option.
