Zatarain’s Gumbo Mix

When we visited Southeastern Oklahoma (aka Choctaw Country) in 2019, we stayed in a fantastic Airbnb with an amazing view. Each night I cooked at “home” and one evening I made a Shrimp Gumbo. It was easy…I used Zatarain’s Gumbo Mix. If you haven’t tried this and you like gumbo please give it a try!

Think of this Gumbo Mix as a base or foundation. Follow my recipe below, or use your creativity to come up with your own delicious gumbo!

All you need for the gumbo that I made is:

Box of Zatarain’s Gumbo Mix (you should be able to find this at your local grocery store; I have also linked here to Amazon)
14.5 oz can of Stewed Tomatoes
1 lb shrimp
Water
Hot Pickled Okra – Optional (but oh so good!)
Green Onions – Optional for garnish

The Zatarain’s Gumbo Mix already includes rice, so you won’t need to make additional rice to accompany this dish. They make it so easy!

Treat Yourself To Some Shrimp Gumbo, Ready in About 30 Minutes!

This Shrimp Gumbo is rich and delicious! Would you believe it can be ready for dinner in about 30 minutes? YES!

All you need to do is bring the Zatarain’s Gumbo Mix and some water to the boil followed by simmering for 15 minutes. You’ll then add your shrimp to simmer for 10 minutes and allow it to rest for 5.

Dish up your gumbo into some lovely bowls, garnish with Hot Pickled Okra and green onions, and by all means add a splash or two of Tabasco as well!

Hot Pickled Okra

The meal I cooked in Oklahoma was extra special because we had picked up some Hot Pickled Okra from Lovera’s Market, in Krebs, OK, and I garnished our gumbo with this delicious okra!

You can also throw the Hot Pickled Okra in while cooking the gumbo, however I find it is perfect as a garnish. 🙂

We still have some of this Hot Pickled Okra in our fridge, so I whipped up some more gumbo the other evening (recreating that meal from last year) and we were treated once again to a delicious shrimp gumbo!

If you would like to purchase the Hot Pickled Okra online, I have linked to Lovera’s Market’s Hot Pickled Okra here and above. You may also be able to find it at your grocery store, or you can check some varieties of Hot Pickled Okra for sale on Amazon by clicking here.

If you are not a fan of spicy food, there are also mild varieties of Pickled Okra on Amazon, as well as Mild Pickled Okra from Lovera’s. 🙂

This delicious pickle adds such incredible flavor to this gumbo, so I highly recommend slicing it up and throwing in as much of it as you desire!

Lovera’s Market, Krebs, Oklahoma

Lovera’s is a small shop with all sorts of artisan foods…I wanted to buy EVERYTHING in that store! As indicated above, they have an online shop LoverasMarket.com so check it out if you get a chance!
