Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Slice the okra and Andouille sausage. Cube the fish fillets and set aside. If using canned crab meat, drain it well.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add Sausage and Okra

    Add the sliced Andouille sausage and okra to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Add the bay leaves, Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 5

    Simmer the Gumbo

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the gumbo simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 6

    Add Seafood

    After 30 minutes, add the shrimp, crab meat, and fish fillets. Stir gently to combine and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through.

  6. 7

    Final Touches

    Remove the bay leaves. Adjust seasoning with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if needed. Garnish with chopped green onions and parsley before serving.
