Low Budget Recipe: Seafood gumbo (Recipe in the comment)

Question: how are crab legs budget food?

Crab, shrimp, and oysters in budget food? It looks good but mot sure it belongs.

I mean, it looks delicious don’t get me wrong. But I’m from south Louisiana and even there the seafood is super expensive.

If you really wanna go budget with gumbo, chicken and andouille is the way to go.

Hahaha yes, very budget friendly. Rice, beans….crab legs haha

Looks like a cosmic gumbo.

Come on OP, you didn’t think I noticed that you used the stock photo they used from the link you posted?

I’m on the gulf coast and seafood is still expensive, even the seafood they catch locally.

Isaac Toups says if your gumbo has seafood in it, whatcha got there is stew.

Gumbo however, with only chicken and sausage, IS a budget food.

Aren’t you supposed to take out the bay leafs?
