Preparation

Cooking

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are soft. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Add the sliced andouille sausage to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the sausage to brown slightly.

    After the gumbo has simmered, add the shrimp and crab meat. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
