If I remember correctly, that recipe did come from a healthy cooking book. Also, I added celery this time.

I figured it was richer than most would make because of recipes for etouffee I'd seen in the past. BUT THAT'S WHY I LIKE IT SO MUCH!!! :)
b..bbb...but.. that makes it less authentic.....!

Tell you the difference in ONE dish.... see if you can find one o' those Cajun chains (I really don't like chains, ya know...specially ones claiming authenticity.. and they don't even have the right ingredients fergawdsake)that features crawfish bisque... and then look at the recipe I'll share for the real deal..:):) you'll see. :)
Bisque.. particularly crawsfish or crab bisque is a labor of love that can't be replicated at Joe's or Pappawhatevers.....
And have you ever seen a bottle of file' on the table for your Gumbo?
AAaaaand...at the risk of sounding like an uppity Cajun.... you can find seafood Gumbo (Creole syle) in Louisianas eateries. You can find chicken & sausage Gumbo (Cajun style). But you almost never find them mixed, as you do in the chains..
Tell you a story. I was in Kansas City not so long ago. Went to a 'Cajun' restaraunt. Ordered the Gumbo as a starter. Comes to the table with no rice. I stopped him and said.. "Surely you forgot my bowl of rice?"
He replies, "Sir, this is an authentic establishment. In New Orleans, they don't eat rice with gumbo. I'll bring you some wild rice, if you like..."
Heh. I had some fun as we passed a good time there, that night... :)

Ric -- do you mean they are SUPPOSED to put a bottle of file on the table to go with the gumbo? Alton Brown was on the other day talking about the differences in Cajun and Creole cuisine. He made his gumbo with a whole bunch of file dumped in (no okra, so no okra goo to thicken it). People who reviewed the recipe, especially the AUTHENTIC Cajuns like yourself:) , were having babies over the fact that he dumped that file powder right on in there... 
See how bad this hurts... I actually LIKE Zatarain's Jambalya Rice Mix! I saute extra onion/bell pepper first then prepare as it suggests using a pound of sausage and 1/2 pound of shrimp -- though I think I'd like more shrimp, less sausage after the last time. What's your favorite hot sauce to sprinkle on top? I switch back and forth between Louisiana Red and Frank's Red Hot. I do like Texas Pete but can't find it everywhere.

We have some Oak Grove Jambalaya mix in our store... now Zatarain's ain't bad.. BUT.. if you try the (no tomato base) other, you'll search high and low to find it again before opening the Z again.. :)
And, I LOVE the okra goo.. (as Justin.. and Jerry Clowers used to say.. I ate so much boiled okry as a young'un, my socks STILL slide up and down my ankles... :))... and I've had gumbo with file cooked in... let's just say my gran'mere would be a spinning in the grave if I tried to serve it that way... :):)

My favorite additive, by the way, is a sauce called Tiger Sauce. Failing that, I like PikAPeppa.....
Good old tabasco is always a staple, too......

Not too far out of the way -- might be fun to stop by. Is it really YOUR store - as in - you own it? I forget what you do... Probably be sometime next week before I could do it, though.
