Chicken Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo Crockpot Recipe
Of course, I had to try it! This is a super simple, easy preparation meal. Lots of flavor that even the steak and potato folks will love! Which I cannot complain about. This recipe is an adaptation from blogger The Lexingtonienne.
Shopping List:
1/4 C olive oil (original recipe calls for Canola, but I prefer EVOO)
1/4 C all-purpose flour

1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and cooked
