Seafood Gumbo Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, celery, and green bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Sausage and Garlic

    Stir in the andouille sausage and minced garlic, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Add the canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, bay leaves, and cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Okra and Seafood

    Add the sliced okra, shrimp, red snapper, and crab meat to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through.

  5. 5

    Finish with Green Onions

    Remove the bay leaves and stir in chopped green onions just before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the gumbo hot over a bed of cooked rice.
