This is my version of Gumbo, with a portuguese twist. Chouriço (sho-ree-sue) is a smoked Portuguese sausage, very similar to linguiça and slightly similar to Spanish chorizo. The flavors are very rich, bold, and pronounced. Read more This is an original recipe I created today and we loved it. I hope you try it and love it too :-) See less
