Cooking a large Seafood Gumbo

Never really had much experience cooking gumbo for large groups. How many pounds of shrimp would you recommend for a gumbo to feed approximately 25 people?

25 people at 16 ounce servings (very large) is 3 gallons.
5 pounds of shrimp in 3 gallons sounds right to me.

I do 2 cups of flour/oil (little less oil to keep it from being greasy) and I have never gotten near enough gumbo to feed 25 people. I like my gumbo on the thicker side so maybe that is why but that still doesn’t seem like enough roux for 25 people even if you like it really thin.

I will give you a tip and you can't tell anyone...the winner of the Gumbo Cook-off Professional Division this year uses the Gold Label SEAFOOD BASE by Custom Culinary to make his stock. Go to there website its available at several places in South Louisiana....I get mine at Lydia Food Store in Lydia...
FYI- Dave has won the Seafood Div of the World Championship Gumbo Cookoff in New Iberia 4 times now!
