Warm Gumbo Dip
Spicy and creamy, this Warm Gumbo Dip is perfect from shrimp lovers. Alongside the shrimp are sautéed bell peppers, garlic and okra. Bake it up and serve with a sliced baguette.
If you aren’t a fan of okra or can’t find it locally, you can feel free to leave it out. I think the addition of 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar or colby would be a tasty addition to this.

Slightly adapted from Myrecipes.com and Annie’s Eats.
Can you make this the night before? Then place in oven the next day for brunch (11:00)?
Yep, I'm sure that would work out great.
This turned out great. To keep low carb we served it over Aldi's No Carb buttered toast points. Also added a couple of 'Georgia Boy' sliced smoked sausages.
Thank you for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it!
