Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Start by preparing all the ingredients. Dice the onion, bell pepper, and celery. Mince the garlic. Slice the sausage and okra.

2

Cook the Sausage

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the Andouille sausage over medium heat until browned. Remove the sausage and set aside.

3

Sauté the Vegetables

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

4

Brown the Chicken

Add the chicken thighs to the pot and brown on all sides. Season with salt and black pepper.

5

Add Remaining Ingredients

Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, okra, bay leaves, Cajun seasoning, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil.

6

Simmer the Gumbo

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the gumbo simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

7

Add Shrimp

Stir in the shrimp and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

8

Serve

Remove bay leaves. Serve the gumbo over cooked rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
