Drop in fresh shrimp near the very end. I'd bet lobster would be
excellent too. My gumbo starts with partially frying a chicken, but
there are seafood gumbos. Personally, I prefer okra to filet powder.
Google for shrimp gumbo for a seafood gumbo to get different ideas. I
haven't tried anything but my own recipe.
My ideas may not constitute a culinarily accepted gumbo.
