Fund-raising can be delicious - for instance what can beat Shrimp Gumbo for a good cause? I usually will do bake sales or make a pot of chili or soup for my church, but this time I felt obligated to do something special, since I have been sharing my Southern Shrimp Boil from my Blogger post.
I do not know why people feel shrimp dishes are difficult - well, maybe they are. Anytime the shrimp require peeling (leave the tails on if you like) prior to cooking, as it does for Shrimp Gumbo, it is a little difficult or time consuming. Then the price of shrimp is expensive, so no one wants to overcook them.
So, if you want to do something different for a fundraiser think past the spaghetti suppers, the barbecue plates, or the bake sales - make Shrimp Gumbo!
I had to decide on how I would sell it. Many asked to purchase it by the pan, rather than by the bowl, I decided to do ten large pans and had them sold before the actual sale. Of course, one must keep in mind the cost, because this is a fundraiser and charge accordingly. Since my donation is the time preparing and the cost of the ingredients, I want whatever I make to be profitable to the cause and enjoyed by the customers.
Oh, keep out a serving or two for yourself...
