Easy Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo

This dish will warm your heart on a cold day. I first had this at a friend’s house in Louisiana and after a few changes, shrimp instead of chicken for instance, I came up with a recipe I think you will enjoy as much as my family does. Serve over rice with additional seasoning on the side if you like it spicier, as I do. Enjoy.
