      ​@rivabenzikri77 Yeah, usually you just add oil and let to heat up, then add your flour and constantly stir until it becomes the color you want it. This is what the call a dry roux, which has a different taste and I believe thickens it more since it's more flour than oil instead of the 1:1 ratio of a normal roux.

Ever time we go to the coast we stay at some campground and dad would fix his version of gumbo. We catch our crabs , he buy chicken and sausage at the store . We then , as he know where to go catch the Shrimpers and buy shrimp from them right off the boat . He have all the ingredients and make the best gumbo I ever ate. I sure like to try yours.

    This was the first time to see one of Bruce's video and really enjoyed it. He is so easy going with the way he talks and appears on the video. He is not getting excited, or slinging his hands when he is talking. So many on these cooking video are putting on a show for you as they are cooking but there is no need for all that. Just make it simple to watch and hear, I really enjoyed this one and plan to see a lot more. Thanks your videos are great .
