Gumbo is a soup. It's definitely not a stew. Yours is way too thick. Gumbo doesn't sit atop rice. While it may taste good, it's not right. Google images of gumbo and you'll see what I mean. I've never heard of using shallots either. We use the trinity of celery, onion and bell pepper plus garlic. That's it. Creole gumbo has tomatoes. Cajun gumbo, which is better in my opinion, does not.

This definitely looks good, hope it is as fantastic as Mike's Moroccan stew To really make the roux properly, it has to be done in an old cast iron pan, according to my Louisiana cousins.
