I just made the best fast track/easy gumbo
2 cans tomatoes and okra (used Margaret Holmes brand)-- it's tomatoes and okra in a can together.
1/2 to 1 small bag frozen pic sweet chopped seasonings (onion, bell pepper, celery etc)
1 small bag frozen peeled 150 count shrimp (6.99 at my grocery)
1 roux mix-- I'm in Louisiana so this may be easier for me: you can use dry roux mix, a box of "gumbo mix".. I used Mam Papaul's box mix. (It's by the rice aisle).
2 quarts water or broth (I used 1 quart chicken broth, 1 quart water and I used the juice from the tomatoes and okra can).
Dump it all in a pot and cook for 1-2 hours. Alternate high and low and replace water as needed.
Serve over rice.
You could probably substitute chicken for shrimp or even pork or cubed ham.
