Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Gumbo w/ Baked Garlic Loaf Bread

Dinner Tonight: Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Gumbo w/ Baked Garlic Loaf Bread





For Breakfast I toasted a Healthy Life Multi Grain English Muffin topped with I Can't Believe It's
Not Butter and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Mostly sunny and 84 degrees out today. Took Mom's car up to the Car Wash and had it cleaned and then a little later took my car up and had it washed. Went by the ATM and then by the Post Office and mailed a couple of letters before heading home. It's going on 2 months since my Dad passed away and I'm really missing him. But the only good thing is that he's not suffering anymore. His vision was almost gone along with his hearing, couldn't breath, and was so weak he couldn't even raise up from bed. So I'm so glad he's suffering no more but we all miss him very much. For Dinner tonight I prepared a personnel favorite, Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Gumbo w/ .Baked Garlic Loaf Bread.



One of my favorite meals tonight, Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Gumbo! To make it I used a box of Zatarain’s Gumbo Pasta Dinner Mix for the Gumbo base, 1 1/2 Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausages (sliced into bite size slices), a bag of Meijer Brand Jumbo Shrimp and Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. I precooked the Sausage and Shrimp, according to the package instructions, before adding it to the Gumbo.







The Zatarain’s Gumbo Pasta Dinner Mix uses Pasta instead of Rice. It’s very easy to prepare, takes about 25-30 minutes. To start; I just boil the stock that’s in the packet, add the sliced the Turkey Sausage to the stock along with a few shakes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce and continued to cook for 10-15 minutes. Then I added the Shrimp and simmered another 2-3 minutes. And the Gumbo is ready to serve and It turns out fantastic! Nice flavor, incredible tasting stock, meaty Shrimp and Sausage, and plenty of Pasta, makes one easily prepared hearty and delicious dish. Plus enough leftovers for a couple of lunches too!




I also heated up some of the RiverRoad Bake House Garlic Oval Loaf Bread I had yesterday for Dinner. Then for Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Diet Mango Snapple to drink.
