A generous splash of clam juice infuses this slow-cooker gumbo with rich seafood flavour. Look for clam juice near the canned tuna at the grocery store. Fresh okra not in season? Swing by the freezer case for a bag of presliced pods; you can toss the frozen okra right into the mix without thawing. The shrimp don’t need much cooking time; they go in toward the end, timed for peak tenderness.
