Gumbo Recipe

Gumbo Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sausage

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same pot, add the onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Tomatoes and Broth

   Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes. Then, pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.

4. 4

   Season the Gumbo

   Add the Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, and the cooked sausage back into the pot. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

5. 5

   Add Seafood

   After 20 minutes, add the shrimp, crab meat, and oysters to the gumbo. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

   Final Seasoning

   Taste the gumbo and season with salt and black pepper to your liking. Remove the bay leaves before serving.

7. 7
