I can guarantee half of my cousins are rolling their eyes when reading this recipe that calls for lump crab and not the whole legs. Over the years, I have stepped away from the gumbo that forces you to pick your way through chicken bones and crab legs. This Seafood and Andouille Gumbo is dark and rich, and the lump crab makes up for the lack of legs.
