Shrimp gumbo
When it comes to gumbo, there are as many recipes as there are Louisiana cooks. But shrimp gumbo is the one dish that is most commonly associated with the state. It is a hearty stew that is traditionally made with a dark roux, fresh shrimp, and a variety of vegetables.
Gumbo is thought to have originated in Louisiana in the 18th century. The name is thought to come from the Bantu word for okra, which is one of the key ingredients in gumbo. It is also believed that the dish was created by African slaves who brought their own culinary traditions with them to the New World.
Over the years, gumbo has evolved and changed to reflect the various cultures that have influenced Louisiana cuisine. Today, there are as many different versions of gumbo as there are Louisiana families. But one thing remains the same: gumbo is always served with a side of rice.
