"Hi my name is Karl James owner of Creolesoul catering and on behalf of Expert Village I'm here to show you a simple chicken and sausage gumbo. We added our sausage and now I got a little optional step that you can take I do it cause I know that people that are here actually like this but I know that we are doing a chicken and sausage gumbo and don't feel bad or be afraid to add something extra. Here we are going to add a few shrimps and we are going to add them in this last step here cause we don't want them to overcook either. It is not going to take the shrimp a couple of minutes 5 minutes or so to get warm through and get cooked all the way through so we just added like I said bonus ingredients of a little shrimp into our chicken and sausage gumbo. I have mention earlier I do my gumbo that I do normally I call it a everything gumbo where I put crab, shrimp, chicken, sausage, sometimes oysters into the gumbo. Actually if you wanted I know there is a lot of people that actually like okra you can put okra in your gumbo if you want to. Personally I don't care for it so I don't put it in there. Anyway we have added our shrimp and we are going to let this simmer for 5-6 minutes so the shrimp can cook all the way through and we would move on."
