1) 1 full recipe BARELY fits in a standard 12-inch dutch oven, so 1 1/2 full recipes BARELY fits in a 14-inch dutch oven. If it boils, it's probably going to make a bit of a mess.
2) If you want to add shrimp to the gumbo, you can't do it if you make a full recipe in a standard 12-inch dutch oven or a recipe and a half in a 14-inch dutch oven.
3) Whether or not shrimp is added, it's probably wise to make a standard recipe in a deep 12-inch dutch oven, or a 14-inch if no 12-deep is available.
4) 1 1/2 full recipes plus shrimp is a LOT of food. 3 recipes in 2 14-inch ovens is a TON of food.
